Abstract
When a motor replacement detection portion (4) detects replacement of a motor (M), a control portion (2) of the motor control apparatus executes limiting processing for limiting action of the motor (M), at least until an acceptance portion (5) accepts an input of confirmation information from a user.
Claims14
A motor control apparatus, which performs motor control, wherein the motor control apparatus comprises:
- a control circuit, coupled to the motor, configured to control and limit action of the motor;
- a motor replacement detection circuit, coupled to the control circuit and the motor, configured to detect whether a replacement of the motor by a replacement motor has occurred;
- a switching circuit, coupled to the control circuit, configured to obtain usage information of the motor to determine whether an encoder of the motor is an incremental encoder or a non-incremental encoder and switch the control circuit between executing and not executing a limiting processing;
- and
- an acceptance circuit, coupled to the control circuit, configured to accept input of confirmation information of a confirmed intention of the replacement of the motor after the replacement of the motor has occurred, wherein
- when the motor replacement detection circuit detects that the replacement of the motor by the replacement motor has occurred, the switching circuit switches the control circuit to execute the limiting processing for limiting the action of the replacement motor in a case the encoder of the motor is a non-incremental encoder, at least until the acceptance circuit accepts the input of the confirmation information, and the switching circuit switches the control circuit to not execute the limiting processing on the replacement motor in a case the encoder of the motor is an incremental encoder.

A motor control method for performing motor control, wherein the motor control method comprises:
- a motor replacement detection step:
- detecting whether a replacement of the motor has occurred;
- an encoder type determining step:
- obtaining a motor usage information of the motor and determining whether an encoder of the motor is an incremental encoder or a non-incremental encoder according to the motor usage information of the motor;
- and
- an action limiting step:
- when the replacement of the motor has occurred, and is detected in the motor replacement detection step, performing limiting action of a motor after the replacement in a case the encoder of the motor is detei wined as the non-incremental encoder in the encoder type determining step, at least until input of confirmation information of a confirmed intention of the replacement of the motor is accepted.
