Abstract
Abstract A motor servo system is disclosed which is capable of accomplishing the precise control of a set point of a mechanical element to be controlled without particularly considering the mechanical connecting condition between a motor and the mechanical element and being readily accommodated to a variation of the set point and a variation of overshoot due to a variation of load. The motor servo system is constructed in a manner such that a controlled set point of a controlled element such as a mechanical element is independently set by means of a time signal generating section preceding a servo circuit section.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A motor servo system for controlling a controlled element to a predetermined position comprising: a discriminator having a plurality of output terminals, said discriminator generating a signal indicative of a controlled direction and/or a controlled set point of said controlled element selectively at any one of said output terminals in response to an input signal indicative of the direction of desired movement of said controlled element; a plurality of time signal generating sections connected to each output terminal of said discriminator to generate a pulse signal having a variable time width depending upon a target movement of said controlled element; a servo circuit section including an error pulse generating section for comparing a pulse signal of a time signal generating section with a signal corresponding to the movement of said controlled element to generate an error pulse and a driving circuit section for generating a signal to drive said control element until the error pulse reaches a predetermined value; and a motor rotated by the output signal of said servo circuit section to drive said control element.
