Abstract: The motor control apparatus includes a memory that stores a correction data group for suppressing a fluctuation of an output of a motor, and a calculating unit that generates, by using a correction value calculated on the basis of a first output command value input thereto and the correction data group, a second output command value for controlling the output of the motor, the correction value being in accordance with operation position information of the motor. The memory stores plural correction data groups corresponding to predetermined output command values for different torque levels. The calculating unit calculates the correction value in accordance with the first output command value and the operation position information of the motor by interpolation processing using correction data included in at least two correction data groups among the plural correction data groups. The apparatus suppresses the output fluctuation of the motor.

Abstract: The screw tightening control system includes plural screw tightening apparatuses, and a control apparatus that sets a synchronization point after completion of changing tightening torques of the plural screw tightening apparatuses in a current step, and starts changing of the tightening torques of the plural screw tightening apparatuses in a next step, step by step from the synchronization point. The control apparatus causes a timing to start the changing of the tightening torque of at least one of the plural screw tightening apparatuses from the synchronization point to differ from a timing to start the changing of the tightening torque of at least another one of the plural screw tightening apparatuses. The system controls the plural screw tightening apparatuses while synchronizing them so as to avoid the inconveniences in a conventional art by a simple method.

Abstract: A synchronization control system includes plural controlling object apparatuses connected through first and second wired OR lines. Each controlling object apparatus includes a function of switching an output to the first wired OR line from a first state to a second state in an odd numberth synchronization waiting state and switching an output to the second wired OR line from the first state to the second state in an even numberth synchronization waiting state. A control apparatus determines an odd numberth synchronization in response to changing of the first wired OR line from the first state to the second state when all the controlling object apparatuses enter the odd numberth synchronization waiting state, and determines an even numberth synchronization in response to changing of the second wired OR line from the first state to the second state when all the controlling object apparatuses enter the even numberth synchronization waiting state.
