  • Patent number: 9214889
    Abstract: There is provided a motor drive control apparatus that includes a resistor, which directly or indirectly detects a driving current supplied to a motor and generates a voltage corresponding to the driving current, converts, with an AD converter, the voltage corresponding to the motor driving current detected by the resistor into a numerical value, and reflects the motor driving current converted into the numerical value on driving control for the motor, wherein a plurality of the resistors is connected in series to form a resistor string, and voltage between arbitrary two points of the resistor string is AD-converted.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2015
    Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation
    Inventors: Shuya Sano, Kiyonari Kawajiri, Toshiki Tanaka
  • Patent number: 8866431
    Abstract: A host apparatus includes a command-pattern changing unit. A detector includes a detector-communication-parameter changing unit. A motor drive control apparatus includes a communication-parameter changing unit and a control-gain changing unit. The command-pattern changing unit, the detector-communication-parameter changing unit, and the communication-parameter changing unit change, based on determination of detector communication by a communication-abnormality determining unit, plural communication parameters, control gains, and command patterns, which are determined in advance, in synchronization with one another to control drive of a motor.
