The first axis voltage command value calculator performs an integral calculation using a first deviation that is a deviation between a current command value on the first axis and a detected current value of the rotating machine current on the first axis, and a second deviation that is a deviation between a current command value on the second axis and a detected current value of the rotating machine current on the second axis, and calculates the voltage command value of the first axis on the basis of the result of the integral calculation.

Abstract: A control device for an AC rotating machine includes: an inverter; a DC power supply; an electric current detector; a first axis voltage command value calculator configured to calculate a voltage command value of a first axis between two rotational axes of the AC rotating machine; and a second axis voltage command value calculator configured to calculate a voltage command value of a second axis between the two rotational axes. The first axis voltage command value calculator calculates the voltage command value of the first axis based on a corrected first deviation obtained by multiplying a first deviation by a correction gain, a second deviation, and a rotational angular velocity. A set value of the correction gain is increased when a physical quantity in the AC rotating machine has rapidly changed or when an output voltage of the DC power supply has increased.

Abstract: An information processing method performs steps for an information processing apparatus to communicate with an image forming apparatus having first and second sheet output sections. The second sheet output section can be switched between a close position to serve to guide a sheet to the first sheet output section, and an open position not to guide the sheet to the first sheet output section but to stack the sheet. The method inputs a type of sheet, acquires information indicating whether the second sheet output section is in an open or closed state, and transmits image information to the image forming apparatus. When the sheet type recommends the sheet be output to the second sheet output section and the second sheet output section is in the closed state, a message is output to prompt to switch the second sheet output section into the open position before the image information is transmitted.

A time during which the output of the middle point level judging means is Hi is counted. A duty is calculated out from the ratio with a carrier wave cycle, and a conversion is conducted into a two-axis rotating coordinate system (three-phase to two-phase conversion) from the calculated out duty and the magnetic pole position, to calculate out a two-phase signal. The magnetic pole position origin point correction amount is calculated out based on a predetermined operation equation, from the two-phase signal. A magnetic pole position origin point correction is performed based on the calculated out magnetic pole position correction amount.

Abstract: In a controller for an AC rotating electric machine, a failure-state determining circuitry determines a failure state of a magnetic-pole position sensor based on an output signal from the magnetic-pole position sensor. A modulation-ratio switching circuitry outputs a target value of a modulation ratio and also changes the target value to be output based on a result of the failure-state determining circuitry. The modulation-ratio switching circuitry sets, when the magnetic-pole position sensor is determined as being abnormal by the failure-state determining circuitry, the target value to be smaller than in a case in which the magnetic-pole sensor is determined as being normal by the failure-state determining circuitry.
