  • Publication number: 20190086900
    Abstract: A servo control device controls a combined position of a first servo system and a second servo system having higher response than response of the first servo system. The servo control device includes a first axis target value creation unit and a correction unit. The first axis target value creation unit creates a first axis target value based on a combined command value which is a position command value of the combined position. The correction unit converts the first axis target value into a first axis command value by using a first transfer function. In addition, the correction unit converts the first axis target value by using a second transfer function, and calculates a second axis command value by subtracting the converted first axis target value from the combined command value.

  • Patent number: 10202146
    Abstract: A steering control device capable of causing a steering torque to follow a target steering torque when a driver holds a steering wheel for steering, and making an adjustment so that the steering wheel returns to a neutral position at an appropriate speed, when the driver releases his or her hands from the steering wheel. A motor is controlled based on a motor steering assist torque, which is a sum of a first steering assist torque, which is proportional to an integral value of a deviation between the target steering torque and the steering torque, and a second steering assist torque, which is proportional to a motor rotational angular velocity and acting in a direction of suppressing a return speed of the steering wheel when the steering wheel returns to the neutral position.
