Abstract
Abstract In a servo system using a discrete signal relative to a position, a time delay and an error upon detecting a speed due to lack of positional information are eliminated to achieve a positioning to a target position in a short time. A pulse signal X P relative to a position is used to establish synchronization with an observer which is adjusted to match with an actual apparatus comprising a load, a motor and so on, and an estimated speed value or an estimated position value generated by the observer are used to determine an operating signal for the servo system.

A servo control method for a servo system, the servo system including means for detecting a discrete position signal, a controller having a same propagation characteristic as a servo apparatus, and an observer for the servo apparatus provided separately from the controller, the method comprising the steps of: externally synchronizing the observer with an output of the detecting means; adjusting the observer so as to adjust a position signal obtained by the observer; and extracting a continuous position signal from the observer so as to interpolate the discrete position signal.
