  • Patent number: 11415948
    Abstract: An electric motor control device includes a feedforward controller, a feedback controller, and an adder-subtractor. The feedforward controller receives a position command signal to specify a target position of a control target load and outputs signals representing a target position, target speed and torque of the electric motor. The feedback controller outputs a feedback torque command signal representing a torque command to perform feedback control in such a manner that an electric motor position signal and a feedforward position command signal coincide with each other. The adder-subtractor subtracts a load acceleration feedback torque signal obtained by multiplying a load acceleration signal representing acceleration of the control target load by a load acceleration feedback gain from a torque command signal obtained by adding a feedforward torque command signal and the feedback torque command signal, and outputs a result of the subtraction as a torque command correction signal.

  • Publication number: 20220216813
    Abstract: A motor control system includes a control unit and a compensator. The control unit controls an operation of a shaft of a motor in accordance with an operation command for the motor. The compensator calculates compensation information based on an other-shaft information about an operation of another shaft of another motor different from the motor. The compensation information is information for compensating an influence of the operation of the other shaft upon the shaft. The control unit controls the operation of the shaft using the compensation information calculated by the compensator.
