    摘要: A control circuit is applied to a system provided with a rotary electric machine, a power converter electrically connected to a winding of the rotary electric machine, a power source, a cutoff switch provided on an electrical path that connects the power source and the power converter, and a storage unit. The control circuit is provided with a failure determination unit that determines whether a failure occurs in the system and a regeneration prevention unit that prevents a power regeneration, where a current flows from a rotary electric machine side towards a storage unit side, from occurring. In the case where the failure determination unit determines that a failure occurs in the system, the cutoff switch is turned OFF after the regeneration prevention unit prevents an occurrence of the power regeneration.

    摘要: A method for continuous operation of a rotating machine, the method is performed in a rotating machine having an inner stator and an outer stator. The method includes setting a rotating machine reference operational value for the whole rotating machine, obtaining operational parameters for the inner stator and for the outer stator, wherein the operational parameters include magnetic cross-coupling between the inner and outer stators, determining an inner stator reference operational value for the inner stator and an outer stator reference operational value for the outer stator based on the set rotating machine reference operational value for the whole rotating machine and the obtained operational parameters, and driving the rotating machine based on the determined inner stator reference operational value for the inner stator and on the determined outer stator reference operational value for the outer stator, wherein the determined inner stator reference operational value for the inner stator differs from the determined outer stator reference operational value for the outer stator.

    摘要: A motor control system includes a variable voltage supply in signal communication with a direct current (DC) motor. The DC motor includes a rotor induced to rotate in response to a drive current generated by a variable supply voltage delivered by the voltage supply. The rotation of the rotor 103 generates a mechanical force that drives a component. A ripple count circuit 104 is configured to filter the drive current based on a rotational speed (ω) of the rotor 103 to generate a filtered drive current signal, and to generate a varying threshold based on the filtered drive current signal. Based on a comparison between the filtered drive current signal and the varying threshold, the ripple count circuit 104 generates a pulsed output signal indicative of the rotational speed (ω) of the rotor and a rotational position (θ) of the rotor.

    摘要: A transport apparatus includes an electric motor having a mover and coils, and a control device that controls the electric motor and includes a measuring unit and a control unit. The coils drives the mover by applying a current to each of the coils. The measuring unit measures an impedance of each coil. The control unit controls the current flowing through each of the coils based on a third current command value in which a first current command value, indicating a current corresponding to a thrust command value indicating a thrust applied to the mover, and a second current command value, indicating a current for measuring the impedance, are superimposed. The control unit determines the second current command value such that the mover does not receive a thrust due to a component corresponding to the second current command value in the current flowing through each coil when measuring the impedance.

    摘要: A motor control device is a device for controlling a drive of a DC motor which is interlocked with an output shaft portion of an actuator. The motor control device includes: a relative position obtainer detecting current fluctuations when switching a connection between a commutator and a brush in the DC motor or when rotating the DC motor and obtaining relative position information of the output shaft portion; and an absolute position obtainer obtaining absolute position information of the output shaft portion using a potentiometer. The motor control device further includes: an actual position setter setting actual position information of the output shaft portion based on at least one of the absolute position information and the relative position information.
