    Abstract: An automatic control apparatus including a controller and a motor device is provided. The motor device includes an output shaft. The controller drives the motor device so that the motor device is operated in a non-fixed mode or a fixed mode. If the motor device is operated in the fixed mode, a rotation angle of the output shaft of the motor device is maintained at a target angle. When the controller determines that the rotation angle of the output shaft is changed, if the controller determines that a difference between a current angle and the target angle exceeds a threshold angle, the controller resets the target angle by the current angle, so that the output shaft is maintained at a reset target angle.
