Motor control device and programming device

A motor control device for controlling a motor according to an instruction that is input, comprising:

• a motor control unit switching a rotation direction of the motor with respect to the instruction according to a motor-control rotation direction specified value that has been set;
• and
• a safety monitoring unit monitoring, based on a position or speed of the motor, a state of the motor deviating from any one of a plurality of safety state conditions prescribed by a plurality of safety-monitoring parameter values that have been set,
• wherein the safety monitoring unit is configured to be capable of setting a safety-monitoring rotation direction specified value indicating whether the rotation direction of the motor is a first direction or a second direction reverse to the first direction, and is configured to operate by treating the plurality of safety-monitoring parameter values as values of a case where the rotation direction of the motor is the first direction when the safety-monitoring rotation direction specified value indicating that the rotation direction of the motor is the first direction is set, and to operate by treating the plurality of safety-monitoring parameter values as values of a case where the rotation direction of the motor is the second direction when the safety-monitoring rotation direction specified value indicating that the rotation direction of the motor is the second direction is set.
