CONTROL APPARATUS FOR DAMPING FORCE VARYING DAMPER AND DAMPING FORCE VARYING DAMPER SYSTEM

摘要

A control apparatus for a damping force varying damper includes a target current determining section, an upper limit setting section, and a supplied current determining section. The target current determining section determines a target current supplied to a solenoid valve that controls a damping force. The upper limit setting section sets an upper limit value for a current supplied to the solenoid valve. The supplied current determining section determines a supplied current, from the target current and the upper limit value. The upper limit setting section determines a coefficient that increases or reduces the upper limit value based on an already determined supplied current and then determines the upper limit value from the coefficient. The upper limit setting section determines a coefficient that increases or reduces the upper limit value based on an already determined supplied current and then determines the upper limit value from the coefficient.
