  • Publication number: 20200319622
    Abstract: An electric motor control device includes a position controller, a command acceleration calculator, a first subtractor, and a second subtractor. The position controller receives a position command signal specifying a target position of the load and an electric motor position signal representing a position of the electric motor that drives the load, and outputs a torque command signal. The command acceleration calculator receives the position command signal and outputs a command acceleration signal representing acceleration of the position command signal. The first subtractor subtracts the command acceleration signal from a load acceleration signal representing acceleration of the load and outputs a load acceleration correction signal. The second subtractor subtracts from the torque command signal a value obtained by multiplying the load acceleration correction signal by a predetermined weighting coefficient and outputs a torque command correction signal.
