Abstract
Abstract A method of controlling a servomotor, characterized by faster convergence of both positional deviations and velocity deviations, higher responsibility as well as an improved resistivity against a disturbance, and being free from any mechanical resonance. An adjustment gain G is increased when a torque command Tc1 received from a conventional velocity control is small, whereas the adjustment gain G is decreased when the torque command Tc1 is large. A torque command Tc2 obtained by multiplying the Tc1 to the output from the velocity control section by the adjustment gain G is supplied to the servomotor. The gain is to be heightened in the case where the positional deviation and velocity deviation are both small and the torque command Tc1 is also small, to thereby ensure a higher responsibility and a rapid convergence. Moreover, the gain is to be suppressed when the torque command Tc1 is large, thus preventing the occurrence of a mechanical resonance.
