Abstract

Abstract A control device for controlling the speed of an electric motor characterized by means for forming a reference signal having a frequency corresponding to the desired speed and to the desired angular position of the motor, means for forming a signal the frequency of which corresponds to the actual speed and angular position of the motor, and means for comparing the signals and controlling the motor according thereto.
