Patent number: 5148089Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling the velocity of a motor controls the motor by fuzzy inferential reasoning in a transitional period when the motor is started, changed in speed, reversed or stopped. Such fuzzy control eliminates an increase in the length of the transitional period caused by a limitation in supply current under conventional PLL control and makes possible a rapid transition to a target velocity. A plurality of fuzzy rules are provided and one of these fuzzy rules is selected in accordance with the length of the previous transitional period, thereby suppressing the effects of load fluctuation and the influence of a fluctuation in torque caused by a rise in temperature. Therefore, the length for transitional control of a motor can be shortened and the apparatus can be reduced in size.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1990Date of Patent: September 15, 1992Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hideki Adachi, Mitsuharu Takizawa, Miho Nakayama, Taisei Fukada, Shinichi Nakamura, Satoshi Kuroyanagi, Hisatsugu Tahara, Hiroshi Ozaki, Masanori Miyata
