Abstract

A motor control device includes a model following controller to generate a correction torque based on an output from a control target that is a motor, and correct an input to the control target with the correction torque. A model following controller includes a high-pass filter with a first cutoff frequency and a low-pass filter with a second cutoff frequency larger than the first cutoff frequency, and is configured or programmed so that a transfer function of a control target is constrained to a nominal model in a frequency band in which a gain in a gain characteristic of Q(s)·HPF(s) is 1 where Q(s) is a transfer function of the low-pass filter and HPF(s) is a transfer function of the high-pass filter.

Claims (13)

1. A control device usable in an electric power steering device including a motor to control the motor, the control device comprising:

a model following controller to generate a correction torque based on an output from a control target that is the motor and that correct an input to the control target with the correction torque; wherein

the model following controller:

includes a high-pass filter with a first cutoff frequency and a low-pass filter with a second cutoff frequency higher than the first cutoff frequency; and

is configured or programmed so that a transfer function of the control target is constrained to a nominal model in a frequency band in which a gain in a gain characteristic of Q(s)·HPF(s) is 1 where Q(s) is a transfer function of the low-pass filter and HPF(s) is a transfer function of the high-pass filter.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the first cutoff frequency is about 2 Hz or more and about 10 Hz or less.

3. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein the second cutoff frequency is about 3 Hz or more.

4. A motor module comprising:

a motor; and

the control device according to claim 1 .

5. An electric power steering device comprising the motor module according to claim 4 .

6. A computer-implemented method for controlling a motor of an electric power steering device including the motor, the method comprising:

generating a correction torque based on an output from a control target and correcting an input to the control target with the correction torque using a model following controller that constrains a transfer function of the control target that is the motor to a nominal model in a frequency band in which a gain in a gain characteristic of Q(s)·HPF(s) is 1, the model following controller including a high-pass filter with a first cutoff frequency and a low-pass filter with a second cutoff frequency larger than the first cutoff frequency, where Q(s) is a transfer function of the low-pass filter and HPF(s) is a transfer function of the high-pass filter.
