Evaluation system, evaluation device, game machine, and evaluation method

An evaluation device that performs evaluation of a drive motor driving a movable body provided in a game machine, the evaluation device comprising:

• a connection unit communicably connectable to the game machine, the game machine comprising:
• a motor controller configured to control the drive motor;
• and a detector configured to detect at least one of:
• a rotational position of the drive motor;
• and a rotational speed of the drive motor;
• a command output unit configured to output an evaluation operation command to the game machine such that the motor controller controls the drive motor to perform at least one of a plurality of evaluation operations;
• an input unit configured to receive a detection result detected by the detector in response to the drive motor performing the at least one of the plurality of evaluation operations;
• and
• an evaluation unit configured to perform the evaluation of the drive motor based on the detection result.

A game machine comprising:

• a movable body;
• a drive motor configured to drive the movable body;
• a motor controller configured to control operation of the drive motor;
• a detector configured to detect at least one of:
• a rotational position of the drive motor;
• and a rotational speed of the drive motor;
• and
• a connection unit communicably connectable to an external device, wherein
• in response to receiving input of an evaluation operation command from the external device, the motor controller controls the drive motor based on the evaluation operation command to perform at least one of a plurality of evaluation operations,
• the detector detects a detection result in response to the drive motor performing the at least one of the plurality of evaluation operations, and
• the connection unit outputs the detection result to the external device.

An evaluation method for performing evaluation of a drive motor driving a movable body provided in a game machine, the evaluation method comprising:

• controlling the drive motor to perform at least one of a plurality of evaluation operations using a motor controller;
• and
• evaluating the drive motor based on a detection result detected by a detector in response to the drive motor performing the at least one of the plurality of evaluation operations, wherein
• the game machine comprises:
• the motor controller configured to control operation of the drive motor;
• and
• the detector configured to detect at least one of:
• a rotational position of the drive motor;
• and a rotational speed of the drive motor.
