  • Publication number: 20240190261
    Abstract: A motor control device includes: a first storage unit that stores characteristic data related to drive control of a vehicle motor; a second storage unit that stores a vehicle type parameter related to a predetermined vehicle type; a processor that executes arithmetic processing related to the drive control corresponding to the predetermined vehicle type, based on the vehicle type parameter and the characteristic data; and a drive circuit that executes drive processing of a vehicle motor of the predetermined vehicle type, based on a result of the arithmetic processing, in which the drive circuit reads out the characteristic data from the first storage unit and the vehicle type parameter from the second storage unit when abnormality has occurred in the processor, and to execute the arithmetic processing related to the drive control corresponding to the predetermined vehicle type, based on the vehicle type parameter and the characteristic data.

  • Patent number: 11691519
    Abstract: There is provided an electrically driven vehicle that well balances calculation volumes and communication volumes of two control devices configured to drive and control motors for driving. The electrically driven vehicle comprises at least one motor for driving and a first control device and a second control device configured to control the motor. The first control device is configured to calculate a target torque that is to be output from the motor, based on information including an accelerator position, to calculate a current command based on the calculated target torque, and to send the calculated current command to the second control device. The second control device is configured to use the current command, a phase current of the motor and a rotational angle of the motor such as to drive the motor by feedback control.
