    摘要: When stopping operation of an electric power steering apparatus, a motor relay is kept in an on-state even after a power supply relay is in an off-state. A drive control portion sets a target value of a d-axis current to a value other than zero and sets a target value of a q-axis current to zero, and performs a processing same as that at the time of rotating a motor. MOS-FETs contained in a motor driving circuit are controlled such that each of driving currents of the two phases or more is not zero and the brushless motor does not rotate even supplied with these driving currents. Electric charge accumulated in a capacitor is discharged via the MOS-FETs each in an on-state, a motor relay and the windings of the brushless motor. The electric charge accumulated in the capacitor may be discharged via the excitation coil of the motor relay.

    摘要: A current sensor of a motor controller detects the current applied to a motor drive circuit and thus a phase where a failure cannot be detected would occur without taking any measures. However, an abnormal current monitor section contained in a microcomputer receives a voltage signal of an average value of the currents detected in the current sensor by allowing a signal to pass through a first LPF having a cutoff frequency sufficiently lower than the frequency of a PWM signal. Therefore, whether or not the value is within a predetermined normal range is checked, whereby whether or not some failure containing a failure of the current sensor occurs can be easily determined about every phase.

    摘要: In a controller for brushless motor which suppresses the generation of abnormal noise when the motor current is controlled by updating voltages applied to the coils, the present values of the applied voltages to the coils are calculated from the d axis target current, the q axis target current, the d axis actual current, the q axis actual current, and the present value of the detected rotational position of the rotor. The updating period of the applied voltages is set as a period that is shorter than this calculation period. The predicted value of the rotational position at a point in time at which the applied voltages are updated until the next calculation of the present values of the applied voltages is determined in accordance with the present value, a past value of the detected rotational position, and the applied voltage updating period. The predicted values of the applied voltages are calculated from the predicted value of the rotational position, the d axis target current, the q axis target current, the d axis actual current, and the q axis actual current. The applied voltages are updated in accordance with the present values and predicted values of the applied voltages.
