Servo motor controller

Abstract

A servo motor controller is provided which enables an offset to be set more easily and accurately, in comparison to the conventional technique. A servo motor controller for controlling a servo motor of an industrial machine includes: a position detection unit that detects a position of the servo motor; a magnetic-pole detection unit that detects a magnetic-pole phase of the servo motor; and a phase calculation unit that determines a calculation-based phase based on position data of the servo motor and magnetic-pole gap information of the servo motor. The servo motor controller is configured to acquire an offset relationship between the magnetic-pole phase detected by the magnetic-pole detection unit and the calculation-based phase determined by the phase calculation unit, after a reference position is passed through.
