  • Patent number: 10800448
    Abstract: Provided is a steering control apparatus configured to suppress the occurrence of abnormalities in components in respective systems at the same timing. A first assist torque calculation circuit calculates a first command value and a second command value based on a steering torque. A first current feedback control circuit calculates a control signal by using the first command value. A second current feedback control circuit calculates a control signal by using the second command value. When the steering torque is equal to or smaller than a steering torque threshold, the first assist torque calculation circuit executes calculation so that the first command value is larger than the second command value. After the steering torque exceeds the steering torque threshold, the first assist torque calculation circuit executes calculation so that the first command value is equal to the second command value.

  • Publication number: 20200023890
    Abstract: Provided is a motor controller in which a total motor torque can be changed at a constant rate if maximum torques that can be generated by winding groups of a plurality of systems lose their balance. An upper limit of a first assist control amount for a first winding group or a second assist control amount for a second winding group may be limited to a value smaller than the original upper limit. In this case, an ECU calculates the first assist control amount and the second assist control amount so that the first assist control amount and the second assist control amount reach their upper limits at the same timing relative to changes in absolute values of steering torques.
