  • Publication number: 20240136965
    Abstract: Motor control device controls motor that moves load to a target position. Motor control device includes prediction part, correction command generator, corrector, and controller. Prediction part acquires one or more target position deviations and a target settling time, and calculates a predicted target position deviation indicating a difference between a position of load and the target position at the target settling time based on the one or more target position deviations and the target settling time. When the predicted target position deviation indicates that load does not reach within a predetermined range from the target position, correction command generator generates a correction command for correcting a position command based on the predicted target position deviation. Corrector acquires the position command, corrects the position command based on the correction command, and generates a corrected position command Controller controls motor based on the corrected position command and a position of motor.
