    摘要: A motor control device includes a motor drive circuit including an upper arm and a lower arm, an arithmetic processor to control the motor drive circuit, an alternative circuit that can operate as a substitute to replace the arithmetic processor, and a mode switch to switch a control mode between a first control mode, in which the arithmetic processor controls the motor drive circuit, and a second control mode, in which the alternative circuit controls the motor drive circuit, based on a state of the arithmetic processor. The mode switch switches the control mode from the first control mode to the second control mode when a state of the arithmetic processor changes from a normal state to an abnormal state.

    摘要: An inverter device is provided. The inverter device converts power from a power source and drives a motor. The inverter device includes an inverter circuit having a switch, a driver circuit that switches the switch on and off, and a controller that controls the driver circuit. The controller has a speed calculator used to calculate a minimum speed of the motor based on a power source voltage. After the controller performs fail-safe control, when a speed of the motor is less than the minimum speed, the fail-safe control is ended.

    摘要: A capacitor module that smooths a voltage of an inverter circuit includes a supply assembly including a connection terminal to the inverter circuit, an alternating-current assembly including a capacitor and a first bus bar, and a direct-current assembly including a second bus bar connecting a DC power source and the supply assembly. The alternating-current assembly and the direct-current assembly are side by side in a plan view and one side view of the capacitor module, and are arranged with the side surfaces thereof opposing each other in an opposite side view. The supply assembly is located inside an outer peripheral region collectively surrounding both the alternating-current assembly and the direct-current assembly in the plan view.

    摘要: An inverter device includes a motor, a power supply that supplies the motor with electric current, an inverter that, during regenerative operation of the motor, performs switching between a first state in which regenerative current generated in the motor is returned to the motor again and a second state in which the regenerative current is supplied to the power supply, a first detector that detects a first condition electrically acting on the inverter, a second detector that detects a second condition electrically acting on the power supply, and a determiner that performs a first determination to perform switching between the first state and the second state, based on a detection result by the first detector or the second detector.

    摘要: A motor controller that controls a motor including two windings includes a calculator to compute a current instruction value to drive the motor, a first motor driver to supply a first current to one of the windings based on the current instruction value, a second motor driver to supply a second current to the other of the windings based on the current instruction value, a first current detector to detect the first current supplied to the motor from the first motor driver, and a second current detector to detect the second current supplied to the motor from the second motor driver. The calculator supplies a first forced current to the first motor driver, and a second forced current in opposite phase of the first forced current to the second motor driver to determine an abnormality of the first current detector and/or the second current detector.

    摘要: A control device includes angular velocity detecting circuitry, feedback circuitry, torque command calculation circuitry, a limiter, a drive controller, and correction circuitry. The angular velocity detecting circuitry detects an angular velocity of a motor. The feedback circuitry obtains a feedback value from the angular velocity. The torque command calculation circuitry obtains a torque command value according to a superordinate torque command value supplied from a superordinate device and the feedback value. The limiter limits the torque command value obtained by the torque command calculation circuitry so as not to exceed a preset torque upper limit value. The drive controller performs a drive control of the motor according to the limited torque command value. The correction circuitry corrects the superordinate torque command value or the torque command value according to the feedback value and the superordinate torque command value.

    摘要: An electrical parking brake device includes an operation switch and a control circuit. The operation switch includes a switch button, miniature switches, operation switch terminals and inside conductors, the switch button being in one of an On state, an Off state and a neutral state, the miniature switches operating in conjunction with the state of the switch button. The control circuit includes control circuit terminals, a switch verification circuit, management circuitry and brake application command circuitry, the management circuitry managing the electrical parking brake device. The operation switch defines closed circuits that are independent in terms of a pair of the operation switch terminals, for each of the operating states. The closed circuits are closed circuits that, when one or more of the miniature switches fail, avoids influence of the failure, by the miniature switches other than the one or more failing miniature switches.
