Abstract
A method for controlling a suspension component of a vehicle, in which a control unit of the suspension component continuously generates a plurality of control requirements according to a generation clock frequency, each requirement comprising a control value, for an actuator of the suspension component. A bus system of the vehicle continuously transmits to the actuator the control requirements generated by the control unit according to a transmission clock frequency. The actuator calculates a target output value for the suspension component from the control value of each transmitted control requirement and an actual output value of the suspension component, and adjusts the suspension component corresponding to the calculated target output value.
