Abstract: A motor controller capable of obtaining information on offsets, amplitudes and a phase difference of analog feedback signals from encoders without using special measuring device. The analog feedback signals from the encoders are A/D converted and the offsets, the amplitudes and the phase difference of A-phase and B-phase analog feedback signals are obtained based on the converted digital signals by an arithmetic section. The obtained offsets, amplitudes and phase difference are displayed by a display section of the motor controller and/or a display section of a numerical controller as a host controller. Further, the obtained offsets and amplitudes are compared with respective reference values for determining acceptability of the feedback signals from the encoders and the results of the comparison is displayed by the display section and/or the display section of the numerical controller.

Abstract: In the primary frequency control of an induction motor which controls the velocity by changing the supply frequency of the induction motor, the torque component current value is determined from the current value on the primary side of the induction motor, and the excitation frequency command corresponding to the torque component current value is determined by changing the velocity command value by the torque component current value. Based on the excitation frequency command, the voltage command is formed and supplied to the primary side of the induction motor, to drive the induction motor. The acceleration and deceleration of the induction motor is thus performed in which the adjustment of the excitation frequency depends on the change of the load inertia.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a machine in a power failure. The present invention is applicable to such machines that a tool and a workpiece must always be controlled in synchronization with each other, and allows the tool and workpiece to stop without any damage in the power failure situation. If a power failure occurs during a synchronous cutting operation, the present invention disables a power regeneration function, connects a discharge resistor unit to a DC link of a power regeneration circuit, decelerates motors for tool drive and workpiece drive in synchronization with each other, and retracts the tool back to a safe area by driving a motor for tool feed with the power regenerated from the other two motors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling, in power failure, such a machine that a workpiece and a tool are required to be always synchronized in their motion. The method and apparatus allow the tool and workpiece to move back and stop at a safe area without causing any damage to them when the main power source is lost. When a power failure has happened in the middle of a synchronous operation of the motors (S1), a power regeneration function is first disabled (S2). Then a braking control command is issued so as to decelerate the tool drive motor and the workpiece drive motor while maintaining their synchronization (S3). In this step S3, the deceleration rate is controlled so that the motors regenerates energy just enough for driving the tool feed motor. The tool retracts back to an area where it is no longer engaged with the workpiece, by driving the tool feed motor with the regenerative energy produced by the deceleration of the tool drive motor and the workpiece drive motor (S4).
