Patent number: 10732587Abstract: Compensation for an external disturbance can be applied without requiring a model of the external disturbance, and, particularly, the amount of control can be accurately predicted even when the amplitude of a waveform representing changes in a predicted error with respect to time is not constant with respect to time in a case in which the predicted error that is an error between an actually-measured value of the amount of control of a control target and a predicted value periodically changes. A controller compensates a predicted value of the current amount of control using a predicted error of a previous period by taking changes in the amplitude of a waveform representing a predicted error that is an error between an actually-measured value of the amount of control and a predicted value into account.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Masaki Namie, Yukio Iname
