    Abstract: A control unit controls a first DC motor and a second DC motor by detecting a rotational position thereof and includes first control means and second control means. The first control means performs a detection of the origin position pattern by controlling each DC motor to rotate toward one side within a detectable range. In case where the rotational position reaches one end of the detectable range, the second control means performs a detection of the origin position pattern by controlling the DC motor to rotate oppositely from the one side when the other DC motor is stopping, and performs a detection of the origin position pattern by controlling the DC motor to rotate oppositely from the one side after the rotational position of the other DC motor reaches the one end of the detectable range when the other DC motor is rotating.

  • Patent number: 9548683
    Abstract: When a control device of a motor controller simultaneously rotates a first DC motor and a second DC motor by controlling a first circuit, a second circuit and a third circuit, the second circuit is shared. Further, the control device controls each of switch elements of the shared second circuit by using pulse-width modulation. Accordingly, the drive of the first DC motor and the second DC motor can be controlled with high accuracy by the change of a duty ratio of each of the switch elements of the shared second circuit.
