Motor control device including torque command limit unit

Abstract

A motor control device which controls a motor in a machine tool or an industrial machine includes: a power outage detection unit that detects a power outage of a power source which supplies electric power for driving the motor; a DC link voltage detection unit that detects a value of a DC link voltage applied to an amplifier which drives the motor; a comparison unit which compares the value of the DC link voltage with a predetermined threshold value; a torque command generation unit which generates a torque command for driving the motor; a torque limit value setting unit which sets a torque limit value in accordance with a result of a comparison by the comparison unit; and a torque command limit unit which limits the torque command to the torque limit value when a power outage is detected by the power outage detection unit.
