Motor controller

A motor controller for driving, by torque from a motor responding to a computed torque command, an object to be controlled, the object being provided with the motor and a mechanical load, the motor controller comprising:

• a feedback computation unit into which is inputted a command signal, and a motor rotational signal which is a detected value of the motor's rotational angle or speed, the feedback computation unit being for computing said torque command by a computation in which the transfer function for a feedback loop from said motor rotational signal to said torque command includes a pole or a zero point;
• a response parameter input unit for inputting a response parameter;
• and
• an absolute value parameter input unit for inputting an absolute value parameter;
• a ratio parameter input unit for inputting a ratio parameter;
• and
• a switching signal input unit for inputting a switching signal for selecting either the setting of an absolute value or the setting of a ratio;
• wherein
• a loop gain which is the gain of said feedback loop is determined based on said response parameter;
• when said switching signal selects the setting of an absolute value, the zero point or the pole of said feedback loop is determined based on said absolute value parameter, independently from said response parameter;
• and
• when said switching signal selects the setting of a ratio, based on said response parameter and said ratio parameter, the pole or the zero point of said feedback loop is determined in such a way that the ratio of a response frequency which if quotient of said loop gain divided by an inertia value of the controlled object, to a frequency corresponding to the pole or the zero point of said feedback loop, is the value determined by said ratio parameter.

A motor controller for driving, by torque from a motor responding to a computed torque command, an object to be controlled, the object being provided with said motor and a mechanical load, the motor controller comprising:

• a feedback computation unit into which is input a speed command signal and a motor-speed which is a detected value of said motor's speed, the feedback computation unit being for computing said torque command by a computation in which the transfer function for a feedback loop from said motor speed to said torque command is obtained by a proportional integral computation and a low-pass filter computation;
• a response parameter input unit for inputting a response parameter;
• a first absolute-value parameter input unit for inputting a first absolute-parameter;
• a first ratio parameter input unit for inputting a first ratio parameter;
• and
• a first switching signal input unit for inputting a first switching signal for selecting either the setting of an absolute value or the setting of a ratio;
• a second absolute-value parameter input unit for inputting a second absolute-value parameter;
• a second ratio parameter input unit for inputting a second ratio parameter;
• and
• a second switching signal input unit for inputting a second switching signal for selecting either the setting of an absolute value or the setting of a ratio;
• wherein:
• a loop gain which is the gain of said feedback loop is determined based on said response parameter;
• when said first switch signal selects the setting of an absolute value, a PI zero-point frequency which is the frequency of a zero point of proportional integral computation is determined based on the first absolute value parameter, independently from said response parameter;
• when said first switching signal selects the setting of a ratio, said PI zero-point frequency is determined, based on said response parameter and said first ratio parameter, in such a way that the ratio of said response frequency to said PI zero-point frequency is the value determined by said first ratio parameter;
• when said second switching signal selects the setting of an absolute value, a low-pass filter frequency which is a pole frequency of said low-pass filter computation is determined based on said second absolute value parameter, independently from said response parameter;
• and
• when said second switching signal selects the setting of a ratio, said low-pass filter frequency is determined in such a way that the ratio of said response frequency to said low-pass filter frequency, is the a value determined by said second ratio parameter.
