Abstract
Abstract A servomotor velocity control apparatus constructs a digital servo system including a compensating circuit (2) having a variable gain. The integration gain of the compensating circuit (2) is set and controlled by a gain setting unit (5) so as to be inversely proportional to estimated servomotor velocity computed from a velocity signal fed back in discrete fashion. It is possible to perform high-speed positioning based on an actual velocity signal which prevails when velocity is low.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A servomotor velocity control apparatus for controlling the velocity of a servomotor by a discrete velocity command signal, the apparatus having a limitation on a fixed resolution with regard to discrete detection of actual velocity, comprising: arithmetic means for computing an error between an estimated velocity of the servomotor and a commanded velocity corresponding to the discrete velocity command signal; compensating means, which has a control gain that includes a proportional gain and a variable integration gain, for forming a torque command for the servomotor based on the error output from said arithmetic means; and control means for setting and controlling the integration gain of said compensating means so that the integration gain becomes inversely proportional to the estimated velocity of the servomotor which is based on the discretely detected actual velocity and the torque command.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
136 words
A servomotor velocity control apparatus for controlling the velocity of a servomotor by a discrete velocity command signal, the apparatus having a limitation on a fixed resolution with regard to discrete detection of actual velocity, comprising: arithmetic means for computing an error between an estimated velocity of the servomotor and a commanded velocity corresponding to the discrete velocity command signal; compensating means, which has a control gain that includes a proportional gain and a variable integration gain, for forming a torque command for the servomotor based on the error output from said arithmetic means; and control means for setting and controlling the integration gain of said compensating means so that the integration gain becomes inversely proportional to the estimated velocity of the servomotor which is based on the discretely detected actual velocity and the torque command.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A servomotor velocity control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an observer for computing the estimated velocity based on the actual velocity signal and the torque command.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
A servomotor velocity control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said compensating means comprises a proportional integrating circuit in which the integration gain becomes zero when the estimated velocity is greater than a predetermined value, and in which the integration gain is set and controlled so as to be inversely proportional to the estimated velocity only when velocity of the servomotor is below the predetermined value.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A servomotor velocity control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the integration gain of said compensating means is set and controlled continuously by said control means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A servomotor velocity control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said arithmetic means, said compensating means and said control means are arranged as to computer system which processes digital signals.
