Instrument control device, variable device, lighting control device, and variable lighting device
An instrument control device includes a variable mechanism including a motor configured to adjust a state of an instrument, and a variable controller configured to variably control the motor with a command signal. The variable controller includes a receiver configured to receive a communication signal output from a remote controller and output a received signal in accordance with the communication signal, and a motor controller configured to increase the command signal stepwise starting from input of the received signal until a rotational speed of the motor reaches a predetermined rotational speed.
1. An instrument control device comprising:
a variable mechanism including a motor configured to adjust a state of an instrument; and
a variable controller configured to drive the motor at a rotational speed corresponding to a command signal, the variable controller comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a wireless communication signal output at a predetermined period from a remote controller and output a pulse signal when an adjustment push button of the remote controller is pushed; and
a motor controller configured to increase the command signal stepwise for each time the pulse signal is inputted N times (N is a natural number), starting from input of the pulses of the pulse signal until the command signal reaches a predetermined value and thereafter maintains the command signal at the predetermined level, and sets the command signal to zero to stop the motor at a time the input of the pulse signal is stopped;
wherein the time that the pulse signal is inputted N times is set to a limit value at which an operator operates the adjustment push button.
2. The instrument control device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor controller sets the command signal so as to measure elapsed time starting from input of the pulse signal every time each pulse of the pulse signal is input, and stop the motor at a time the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined value period set in advance.
3. The instrument control device according to claim 2 , wherein the motor controller comprises:
an ON controller configured to determine whether the pulse signal is input;
a stop timer configured to set the command signal so as to measure elapsed time starting from input of the pulse signal every time each pulse of the pulse signal is input, and stop the motor at a time the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined time period set in advance;
a counter configured to count an input count of the pulses of the pulse signal, and set the input count to zero at a time the input count reaches a predetermined number of times; and
a rotational speed controller configured to increase the command signal stepwise every time the input count counted by the counter reaches the predetermined number of times starting from the input of the pulse signal until the command signal reaches the predetermined value.
