  • Patent number: 7911172
    Abstract: An accurate load position control is made possible even when rigidity of a load drive system using a motor is relatively low. Load position signal xl is a present-position measurement value of a load, and after compensation in response to a phase delay thereof has been performed by a stability compensation circuit, the high-frequency portion thereof is taken as a control-target position signal xfb by replacing, in a position-signal combination circuit, a motor position signal xm as a present-position measurement value of a motor, and then the control-target position signal xfb is fed back to a position control circuit. Thereby, a torque command signal indicating a torque target value for driving the load is outputted.

  • Patent number: 7868577
    Abstract: In order to simultaneously realize an improvement in disturbance suppression force of an electric motor control apparatus and vibration suppression of a load machine, a velocity control circuit receives a velocity command signal as a target value of velocity of an electric motor and a corrected velocity signal, obtained by correcting a velocity signal with a velocity correction signal, and outputs a torque command signal specifying target torque of the electric motor driving the load machine. A vibration suppression circuit outputs a velocity correction signal, based on an acceleration signal, indicating acceleration of the load machine. A transfer function from the acceleration signal to the torque command signal is obtained by multiplying a transfer function from a position signal, indicating position of the electric motor to the torque command signal, by a proportion characteristic having a specified gain and integration characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20090284208
    Abstract: Even when rigidity of a load drive system using a motor is relatively low, by performing a load position control in which a load position signal is fed back as stable as a semi-closed control system in which only a motor position signal is fed back, an accurate load position control can be made possible. Therefore, regarding a load position signal xl as a present-position measurement value of a load 20, after compensation in response to a phase delay thereof has been performed by a stability compensation circuit 80, the high-frequency portion thereof is taken as a control-target position signal xfb by replacing, in a position-signal combination circuit 90, by a motor position signal xm as a present-position measurement value of a motor 30, and then the control-target position signal xfb is fed back to a position control circuit 110; thereby, a torque command signal indicating a torque target value that the motor 30 drives the load 20 is configured to be outputted.
