Abstract

When a servo device receives the frequency setting signal as a control signal through the receiver from the transmitter, it select the information in conformity with the received frequency setting signal among the driving frequency setting information as stored in advance. When the handling signal is input as the control signal by the transmitter, the servo device is configured to transform the difference data taken synchronously with the difference data timing signal from the pulse width comparison part into the selected driving frequency. The servo device is configured to generate the driving signal from the transformed difference data signal of the desired corresponding count value range, and to perform drive control the driving feature.

Claims (12)

1. A motor control circuit for generating a driving signal and performing drive control of a motor, the driving signal being generated by using difference data which is obtained by subtracting a pulse width of a position signal detected from a rotational position of an output axis of the motor from a pulse width of handling signal for controlling a driving amount of the motor, comprising:

a pulse generating counter configured to count up to a desired value synchronously with a difference data timing signal instructing a timing for updating the difference data;

a count value range setting part configured to output a count value range signal for setting the count value range to be used among the count value as counted by the pulse generating counter, in accordance with the currently selected driving frequency setting information among the driving frequency setting information for transforming the driving signal of the motor into a desired driving frequency;

a difference data transforming part configured to output a transformed difference data signal which is obtained by frequency transformation of the difference data, which is taken synchronously with the difference data timing signal, such that the driving frequency corresponding to the currently selected driving frequency setting information is obtained, and

a pulse generating part configured to generate and output the transformed difference data signal as a driving signal corresponding to the driving frequency of the currently selected driving frequency setting information within the count value range as set by the count value range signal from the count value range setting part.

2. The motor control circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the driving frequency setting information includes (i) a count value range setting information instructing the count value range in which the transformed difference data signal is used in accordance with the selected driving frequency among the count value as counted synchronously with the difference data timing signal, and (ii) a difference data transformation setting information for frequency transformation of the difference data by multiplying the difference data by 2 n (wherein n is a positive or negative integer) such that the driving frequency as selected in conformity with the count value range setting information is obtained, and wherein (i) the count value range setting information and (ii) the difference data transformation setting information are stored in associated with each other with respect to each desired frequency.

3. A servo device, comprising a control part configured to receive a handling signal corresponding to a desired operation amount of an operating part of a transmitter, and to transform the handling signal to a driving signal so as to perform drive control of a driving feature, in which the control part comprises:

a pulse generating counter configured to count up to a desired value of difference data synchronously with a difference data timing signal instructing a timing for updating the difference data, the difference data being obtained by subtracting a pulse width of a position signal detected from a rotational position of an output axis of the driving feature from a pulse width of handling signal;

a count value range setting part configured to output a count value range signal for setting the count value range to be used among the count value as counted by the pulse generating counter, in accordance with the currently selected driving frequency setting information among the driving frequency setting information for transforming the driving signal of the motor into a desired driving frequency;

a difference data transforming part configured to output a transformed difference data signal which is obtained by frequency transformation of the difference data, which is taken synchronously with the difference data timing signal, such that the driving frequency corresponding to the currently selected driving frequency setting information is obtained, and

a pulse generating part configured to generate and output the transformed difference data signal as a driving signal corresponding to the driving frequency of the currently selected driving frequency setting information within the count value range as set by the count value range signal from the count value range setting part.

4. The servo device according to claim 3 , wherein the driving frequency setting information includes (i) a count value range setting information instructing the count value range in which the transformed difference data signal is used in accordance with the selected driving frequency among the count value as counted synchronously with the difference data timing signal, and (ii) a difference data transformation setting information for frequency transformation of the difference data by multiplying the difference data by 2 n (wherein n is a positive or negative integer) such that the driving frequency as selected in conformity with the count value range setting information is obtained, and wherein (i) the count value range setting information and (ii) the difference data transformation setting information are stored in associated with each other with respect to each desired frequency.
