Motor control system and method for detecting abnormality in resolver/digital converter

Abstract

A motor control system includes a motor, a resolver configured to detect a rotation angle of the motor, a resolver/digital converter configured to convert an analog angle signal output from the resolver into a digital angle signal, and a motor control unit configured to control the motor based on the digital angle signal output from the resolver/digital converter and determine, when an integrated value obtained by integrating the digital angle signal at a predetermined time interval is not within a threshold range, that the resolver/digital converter is abnormal. The motor control unit increases the time interval for the integration when a rotation speed of the motor decreases and decreases the time interval for the integration when the rotation speed of the motor increases.
