In the meantime, the above control operation is repeated,
The shadow lenses 142 and 143 are at the target position along the deceleration curve.
Slow down towards. FIG. 97 shows the photographing lenses 142 and 143.

It is. A vertical line is drawn around the deceleration curve 700.
The area that has been set is the brake area. Next, the control operation of the AF motor 108 will be described.
Instead, the case of the moving curve curve 702 will be described. [0477] By moving the photographing lenses 142 and 143,
When entering the control range, the speed at this time becomes the deceleration curve 700.

Once in the open area, the AF motor 108 turns off,
When the vehicle enters the braking area after deceleration curve 700
The brake is applied. And is decelerated by the brake
It turns off when it enters the open area. And that
Is slower than the curve 701 and enters the ON area.
Then the brake is applied one pulse before the target position
Stop. Next, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 96,

In the brake area or open area shown in FIG.
is there. Then, at the rising position (2) of the next CPO, the speed is increased.
Is detected, and as a result, if the speed is slower than the curve 701, A
The F motor 108 turns on. And the next pulse rises
Even at the ascending position (3), a speed faster than the curve 701 is reached.
If not, the ON of the AF motor 108 is continued. Soshi
To reach the rising position (4) of the next pulse.
When the output result is faster than the curve 701, the AF motor 1
08 is opened and acceleration is stopped. This position (4)
Is three pulses before the target position (7), but the speed check
Is faster than curve 701 because
At this time, check if it is 3 pulses before
Not done. The speed at the rising position (5) of the next pulse
If the result of the degree detection is later than the curve 701,
Is, of course, within the range of three pulses before the target position (7).
Therefore, the ON state of the AF motor 108 due to the limited acceleration and the
Become. Then, at the rising position (6) of the next pulse,
After detecting the speed, the limited acceleration is stopped and the AF motor 10
Turn off 8 or brake. As a result,
Exceeding target position due to excessive acceleration just before stop position
Is prevented. And at this time, at the position one pulse before
If there is, the brake is applied immediately, so the photographing lens 14

At the end of the rising position (8), the next pulse
In other words, overload, voltage drop, etc. within the control range
Speed exceeds the speed measurement limit of the program.
The lens movement was stopped accidentally by the judgment in the state.
The AF motor 108 is forcibly turned on,
Keep on until there is a rise. Here, stand up
If there is no further glue for a certain period of time, it is considered an abnormal state,
The abnormality processing is performed by turning off the AF motor 108. Rise
Is turned off, the AF motor 108 is turned off, or
Apply the brake, detect the moving speed again, and
08 Control to decelerate to the target position along the deceleration curve
