An arrangement with an actuator has a transmitting device for transmitting control telegrams with a control command for the actuator. At least two receiving devices receive the control telegrams and generate a control signal for the actuator. A decision device between the receiving devices and the actuator allows the actuator to implement the control signals with a release signal if the control signal is present from all or a minimum number of receiving devices. The transmission device transmits the control command to each receiving device with a receiver-specific control telegram that is provided with a respective control instruction that indicates the continuous telegram number of the respective transmitted control telegram in encrypted or non-encrypted form. The receiving devices accept a control telegram as valid if the control instruction indicates a telegram number that is expected by the receiver. The control signal is generated if the control telegram is valid.

Aspects of the invention provide methods and systems for moving moveable stages relative to a stator. A stator is operationally divided into multiple stator tiles. The movement of the one or more moveable stages is controlled by a plurality of controllers (each assigned particular control responsibilities). A controller is provided for each stator sector, where each stator sector comprises a group of one or more stator tiles. Controllers from neighboring sectors share various information to facilitate controllable movement of one or more moveable stages relative to the stator.

A control device to perform feedback control based on a current value, and output a first voltage value includes a feedforward controller using an inverse model of a plant; a feedforward voltage corrector to correct a voltage disturbance due to a modeling error between the plant and a model of the plant; a repetitive controller to learn periodic current disturbances; and a switch. The switch is ON when the current response is in a steady state, and the repetitive controller learns the disturbances and corrects a command current value. A feedback controller outputs the first voltage value by performing the feedback control based on a current value from the corrected command current value, and inputs the command current value to the inverse model to generate a second voltage value. The control device outputs a sum of the first and the second voltage value as a command voltage value.

Systems, methods, apparatus, and techniques are presented for maintaining cupolets in a state of mutual stabilization. A first cupolet and a second cupolet are generated. A first control code is applied to the first cupolet for a first time to produce a first visitation code. The first visitation code is transformed based on an exchange function to produce a second control code. The second control code is applied to the second cupolet to produce a second visitation code. The second visitation code is transformed based on the exchange function to produce the first control code. The first control code is applied to the first cupolet for a second time.

A servo control method includes a step of adjusting a feedback gain used in feedback control of a controlled object, the feedback control being performed based on difference information between a target value concerning an instruction and a feedback signal from the controlled object, so that the controlled object is operated by following the instruction, and a step of adjusting a feedforward gain used in feedforward control of the controlled object after the adjustment of the feedback gain.
