Abstract: A motor control system includes an acquisition portion, a setting portion, and a control portion. The acquisition portion acquires a pulse signal for an instruction about acceleration and deceleration operations on a motor. The setting portion sets a stop frequency for the motor on the basis of a frequency of the pulse signal at time of an acceleration operation on the motor. The stop frequency corresponds to a stop timing of the pulse signal. The control portion executes a stop process of stopping the motor using short-circuit braking in a case where a frequency of the pulse signal at time of a deceleration operation on the motor reaches the stop frequency.

Abstract: A motor control system includes a first acquisition portion, a calculation portion, and a control portion. The first acquisition portion acquires a pulse that is output from a detection portion which detects rotational speed of a motor. The motor rotates a conveyor (screw) that conveys toner to be removed. The calculation portion calculates rotation speed of the motor in a specific period longer than a period of the pulse on the basis of the acquired pulse. The control portion controls the motor on the basis of the rotation speed calculated by the calculation portion such that the rotation speed of the motor is constant.
