摘要:
A method for detecting the position and the velocity by using an encoder mounted directly on a moving body wherein original signals of the encoder are pulse-width modulated by using a sampling carrier wave and the position is detected by measuring the width of the pulses thus obtained. An apparatus for implementing the method comprises a carrier wave generation circuit, a pulse width modulation circuit which pulse-width modulates the original signals coming from the encoder by using the carrier wave, a pulse width timer which measures the width of the pulses thus modulated, and a microcomputer connected to the pulse width timer.

Disclosed is a position detecting method and apparatus which are suitable for detecting the position of a moving body on the basis of the output of a position detector for generating two-phase periodic waves having a phase difference of a quarter period, the method comprising the steps of: comparing either one of the two-phase periodic waves with a predetermined reference value having hysteresis to thereby obtain a roughly estimated position for every half period of the one periodic wave; analog-to-digital converting the two-phase periodic waves and a zero-cross value for every sampling period to thereby obtain a finely estimated position; and detecting the position of the moving body on the basis of the roughly estimated position and the finely estimated position while correcting an error due to the hysteresis at the starting point of the roughly estimated position, by use of the relationship between the roughly estimated position and the finely estimated position. According to this method/apparatus, continuity between the roughly estimated position and the finely estimated position can be maintained, so that exact and high-resolution position detection can be performed.

An apparatus for driving a polyphase brushless motor with a resulting torque ripple effectively suppressed. The apparatus comprises a rotor position sensor, a controller responsive to the output of the sensor for generating a control signal and an inverter serving to conduct electric current to each phase of the motor as a result of commutation under control of the control signal from the controller. The controller is particularly provided with a device for increasing the value of integration of the electric current for each phase of the motor with respect to time as measured from the instant of switching among motor phase currents effected with the control signal.

A pulse width control apparatus and method for controlling motor speed wherein the number of pulses relating to more speed feedback data is counted so as to control the speed of the motor in accordance with a speed command data and a pulse width modulation signal based on the counted number of pulses. A free-running hardware timer and a soft-timer on a program controlled by an instruction execution time of a microcomputer are arranged so that ON-time data and OFF-time data of the pulse width modulation signal are selectively set in one and the other of the hardware and soft-timers in dependence on values of the ON and OFF times, respectively. The ON and OFF states of the pulse width modulation signal are changed when the contents of the hardware and soft-timers reach predetermined values so as to control the pulse width thereof.

An endless counting apparatus comprises a first memory for storing a code of a first predetermined number of bits sufficient to represent the maximum value of each coded input expressed according to the binary notation, a second memory for storing an endless-making code of a second predetermined number of bits of higher order than and contiguous to the less and least significant bits stored in the first memory, and a control circuit for adding or subtracting the value of the coded input to or from the contents of the first and second memories depending on the input value to be counted and applying the result of addition or subtraction to the first and second memories. A method for endless counting by such an apparatus comprises clearing the most significant bit of the endless making code stored in the second memory when the code stored in the second memory has attained a value which causes an overflow due to a carry from the contents of the first memory if the carry occurs, and setting the most significant bit of the endless-making code stored in the second memory when the code stored in the second memory has attained a value which causes an underflow due to a borrow from the contents of the first memory if the borrow occurs.
