Abstract
In an automatic transmission position control by a motor, it is determined whether the present instant belongs to a starting period, that is, the present instant is immediately after resetting of a control unit or application of power to it. If it is the starting period, an actual shift position that is detected from an output of an output shaft sensor for detecting a rotation position of a motor is set as an instructed shift position. With this measure, even if the control unit is reset for a certain reason while the vehicle is running, the instructed shift position is not changed in association with the resetting. This prevents trouble that the shift position is switched contrary to the intention of the driver, whereby the reliability of a position switching control can be increased.
Claims8
A motor control apparatus comprising:
- an encoder for producing a pulse output signal in synchronism with rotation of a rotor of a motor;
- and
- control means for feedback-controlling the rotor to a target position by detecting a rotation position of the rotor on the basis of a count of the output signal of the encoder and sequentially switching a current supply phase of the motor,
- wherein the control means has a first correction part that corrects an amount of phase lead of the current supply phase with respect to a rotation phase of the rotor in accordance with a rotation speed of the rotor, and
- the control means further has a second correction part that corrects the amount of phase lead of the current supply phase in a direction to decrease relative to the amount of phase lead determined by the first correction part, when the rotation speed of the rotor is required to decrease.
