Abstract

An electromagnetically actuated valve includes generally an electromagnet, an armature member driven by the electromagnet and a valve driven by the armature member. The armature member and the valve are movable together to constitute a movable unit. For controlling the electromagnetically actuated valve, there is provided a control system which comprises a position detecting unit that detects a position of the movable unit; a speed detecting unit that detects a moving speed of the movable unit; a target speed deriving section that derives a target speed of the movable unit by processing the position of the movable unit; a comparator section that compares the speed detected by the speed detecting unit with the target speed derived by the target speed deriving section; and a control section that, in accordance with the result of the comparison by the comparator section, controls the electromagnet.
