Abstract

A motor control device includes: a first communication unit that transmits or receives data to or from a motor; a communication disconnection determination unit that determines that the motor and the motor control device are in a disconnection state based on a fact that there is no reply from the motor within a prescribed period, and that determines that the motor and the motor control device have been restored to a connection state based on a fact that a reply from the motor to the motor control device has been restarted; and a replacement determination unit that obtains identification information from an identification information storage of the motor via the first communication unit and determines that the motor has been replaced, when it is determined that the motor and the motor control device have been restored to the connection state.

Claims (12)

1. A motor control device, wherein the motor control device is programmed to:

transmit or receive data to or from a motor;

determine that the motor and the motor control device are in a disconnection state when there is no reply from the motor within a prescribed period, and that determine that the motor and the motor control device have been restored to a connection state when a reply is received from the motor to the motor control device;

obtain identification information from an identification information storage of the motor and determine that the motor has been replaced, when it is determined that the motor and the motor control device have been restored to the connection state,

wherein the motor control device is further programmed to obtain the identification information based on motor connection state information; and

interrupt power supply to the motor and determine an abnormal state, when it is determined that the motor and the motor control device are in the disconnection state,

wherein the motor control device is further programmed to, based on the motor replacement information, whether the abnormal state is released in accordance with an abnormal state releasing command obtained from a higher-order control device.

2. The motor control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display device that displays, to an outside of the motor control device, motor replacement information.

3. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor control device is further programmed to transmit or receive data to or from the higher-order control device,

wherein the motor control device outputs motor replacement information, to the higher-order control device.

4. The motor control device according to claim 1 , wherein the motor control device is further programmed to control an output to the motor based on position information obtained from the motor including a position detector,

wherein the motor control device initializes the position information in the position feedback controller based on motor replacement information.
