Patent number: 7733046Abstract: A motor controller including a position control section that generates a speed command based on a position command and a motor position, a speed control section that generates a torque command based on the speed command and a motor speed, and a motor driving section that generates a motor current based on the torque command. The motor controller has a speed feed forward command generating section that generates a speed feed forward command by differentiating the position command. A model control section generates a model torque command based on the speed feed forward command and a model speed. An inertia identifying section identifies inertia based on the ratio of an integrated value of a motor torque command obtained by time-integrating the motor torque command in a prescribed section to an integrated value of the model torque command obtained by time-integrating the model torque command in a prescribed section, from a prescribed position command.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2006Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Yaskawa DenkiInventors: Eri Yamanaka, Nobuhiro Umeda, Ken-ichi Murata
