Publication number: 20200036321Abstract: To provide a motor controller and a motor control method allowing inspection for checking the presence or absence of specification error in motor winding to be conducted more simply, efficiently, and with high accuracy. A voltage command value as a command value for driving control of a motor and an excitation frequency are sampled. An actual current flowing in the motor being driven under control is detected. Theoretical values of a voltage command value, a current, and an excitation frequency are determined from a parameter for driving the motor and a condition at the time of driving. The theoretical values of the voltage command value, the current, and the excitation frequency are compared with the values of the voltage command value, the current, and the excitation frequency respectively at the time of the driving, and it is determined that there is winding abnormality if differences between the comparable values exceed a threshold range set in advance.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: FANUC CORPORATIONInventors: Yuuki MORITA, Tomohisa TSUTSUMI
