  • Patent number: 7888893
    Abstract: The start timing of the pole position inference process of the linear motor installed vertically is delayed by a predetermined time after instruction of brake release. For example, from (1) increasing of the thrust instruction value of an ASR control system up to a predetermined value, (2) the movement (falling) distance of the moving part, or (3) the moving (falling) speed of the moving part, the release condition of the brake is detected and moreover after a predetermined time, the inference process of the pole position is started. The inference process of the pole position of a synchronous motor is fit to the release timing of a brake and a malfunction of the inference process and a runaway (falling in the vertical drive) of a moving part are prevented.

  • Patent number: 7151352
    Abstract: A motor controller having the electronic cam function that makes it smooth operation even if the number of operation patterns is lessened is provided. The electronic gear function included in a servo-amplifier and a divider are used to vary the gear ratio of an electronic gear in a previously provided ratio in accordance with an external rotation position so that the electronic cam function is realized. The motor controller further includes a program execution unit so that the electronic gear is operated in accordance with programs. Since the electronic gear function and the divider is included in an inexpensive servo-amplifier and is used to realize the electronic cam function, the inexpensive and intelligent system can be realized. Since the divider is provided in the system, the number of data and the reading frequency of the cam pattern can be decreased and accordingly the inexpensive system is realized.

  • Patent number: 6147470
    Abstract: A vector control apparatus having a DC braking function which is insusceptible to trip even upon DC braking and scarcely suffers vibration upon stoppage is provided.The control apparatus includes a DC braking control arithmetic unit 1 and switches S1, S3 and S4 controlled thereby, wherein in a vector control mode, the DC braking control arithmetic unit 1 sets all the switches S1, S3 and S4 to position a for realizing the vector control. When a DC control state is to be validated from the above-mentioned state, phase of voltage vector is calculated to change over the switches S1 and S3 to position b, and the absolute value of the q-axis current is compared with a reference value .alpha.. When the absolute value of the q-axis current is smaller than the reference value .alpha., the switch S4 is changed over to the position b to thereby effectuate only the d-axis current control.According to the present invention, there is provided a vector control apparatus having a tripless DC braking function.

  • Patent number: 5631819
    Abstract: The invention provides an electric power converter system which uses a standard low-priced control processor and is suitable for improving the voltage utilization factor in the output voltage. D-axis and q-axis voltage commands and a rotation angle .theta. defining a voltage command vector on a rotating coordinate system are input to a voltage calculation circuit. The voltage command vector is transformed in a rotating coordinate transformation unit into a .alpha. axis and .beta. axis voltage commands to be defined relative to stationary coordinate system. A judgment unit determines which section contains the voltage command vector, from among three sections on the stationary coordinate system having one axis thereof (.alpha.-axis for example) coinciding with one axis of the three phases. A three phase voltage generation unit then selects a method of calculation on the basis of a result of the section determination, and calculates three phase voltage command values respectively utilizing the .alpha.
