Patent number: 4626758Abstract: A digital valve control apparatus for regulating opening of a digital valve by a pulse motor, comprising means for setting desired position and displacement speed of the pulse motor and means for selecting the set position and the set speed in response to instruction signals. While pulses having period corresponding to the set speed are produced by a frequency divider, the present position of the pulse motor is compared with the set position by a comparator. The pulses are fed to a counter which counts up or down to supply the output for driving the pulse motor until the comparator produces the coincident output.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 1986Date of Patent: December 2, 1986Assignee: Tokyo Keiki Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kunihiko Takeuchi, Fujio Baba, Kiyoshi Hayashi, Yasuo Shimomura, Yuji Morishige
