Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a motor control device that controls driving of a motor by a plurality of microcomputers, a motor drive system including the motor control device, and a motor control method.
  • the motor control device disclosed in Patent Document 1 transmits and receives a synchronization signal between a plurality of microcomputers, and the microcomputer that receives the synchronization signal corrects the calculation control timing based on the synchronization signal. In this way, the torque pulsation of the motor is suppressed by synchronizing the operation control timings of the plurality of microcomputers with each other.
  • the prior art does not assume the initial synchronization when starting up a plurality of microcomputers. For example, there is a case where the start timing of each microcomputer due to power ON is shifted due to a difference in power supply voltage supplied to each microcomputer, wiring resistance, voltage detection characteristics, or the like. Then, only the microcomputer that has been activated first operates asynchronously during the period from when the microcomputer that has been activated first starts the timer to when the microcomputer that is activated later starts the timer. Therefore, there is a problem that a plurality of microcomputers cannot be synchronized from the first time. In this specification, “asynchronous control” is included, including control in which a motor is driven by only a part of a plurality of microcomputers.
  • Patent Document 1 does not assume a case where an abnormality occurs in a synchronization signal transmitted / received between a plurality of microcomputers.
  • the microcomputer on the synchronization signal receiving side corrects the timing based on the abnormal synchronization signal. Therefore, depending on the degree of abnormality of the synchronization signal, the control by the synchronization signal receiving side microcomputer may fail.
  • a more inconvenient situation may occur than a torque pulsation caused by a clock shift. For example, in an electric power steering device for a vehicle, if the assist function is stopped by stopping the motor drive, the driver is anxious. Therefore, it is required to determine an abnormality of the synchronization signal and to take an appropriate measure in the case of the abnormality.
  • An object of the present disclosure is to provide a motor control device that can be synchronized from the first time after activation of a plurality of microcomputers.
  • a motor control device that transmits and receives a synchronization signal for correcting a clock shift between a plurality of microcomputers that operate with independent clocks.
  • a motor control device capable of determining an abnormality of the synchronization signal is provided.
  • it is providing the motor drive system provided with the motor control apparatus, and the motor control method by the motor control apparatus.
  • the motor control device includes a plurality of motor drive circuits, a plurality of microcomputers, and a plurality of clock generation circuits.
  • the plurality of motor drive circuits drive, for example, one or more motors having a plurality of winding sets.
  • the plurality of microcomputers include a drive signal generation unit and a drive timing generation unit.
  • the drive signal generation unit generates a motor drive signal that commands each of the plurality of motor drive circuits.
  • the drive timing generation unit generates a drive timing that is a pulse timing of the motor drive signal.
  • the plurality of clock generation circuits independently generate clocks used as a reference for operation by the plurality of microcomputers.
  • the clock generation circuit, the microcomputer, and the motor drive circuit are provided corresponding to each other, and the unit of the group of components is defined as “system”.
  • the motor control device drives the motor by controlling the energization to the corresponding winding set by the constituent elements of each system.
  • a synchronization signal transmitting side microcomputer The at least one microcomputer that receives the synchronization signal transmitted from the microcomputer is referred to as a synchronization signal receiving side microcomputer.
  • the microcomputer itself is referred to as “own microcomputer”.
  • the motor control device further includes the following configuration.
  • the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer has a synchronization signal generation part which generates a synchronization signal and transmits it to the synchronization signal reception side microcomputer.
  • the synchronization signal receiving side microcomputer has a timing correction unit capable of performing timing correction for correcting the driving timing of the microcomputer so as to be synchronized with the received synchronization signal.
  • the synchronization signal receiving side microcomputer has a ready signal transmission part.
  • the ready signal transmission unit transmits a ready signal indicating that the synchronization preparation of the microcomputer is completed to the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer.
  • the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer includes a ready signal receiving unit that receives a ready signal.
  • the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer and the synchronization signal reception side microcomputer have a handshake determination unit that determines that the handshake is successful when a handshake including at least transmission / reception of a ready signal is normally performed. When it is determined that the handshake is successful, the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer and the synchronization signal reception side microcomputer drive the motor synchronously from the first time after activation. Thereby, the motor control device according to the present disclosure can be synchronized from the first time after activation of a plurality of microcomputers.
  • the timing correction unit of the synchronization signal receiving side microcomputer includes a reception signal determination unit that performs reception signal determination that is normal or abnormal determination of the received synchronization signal.
  • the synchronization signal receiving microcomputer permits timing correction when the synchronization signal is determined to be normal in the reception signal determination, and prohibits timing correction when the synchronization signal is determined to be abnormal in the reception signal determination.
  • the motor is driven asynchronously with the signal transmission side microcomputer.
  • the synchronization signal abnormality can be determined by the reception signal determination unit of the synchronization signal receiving side microcomputer.
  • the synchronization signal reception side microcomputer prohibits timing correction and drives the motor asynchronously with the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the control of the synchronization signal receiving microcomputer from failing due to the abnormality of the synchronization signal. In this case, even if torque pulsation occurs, at least driving of the motor can be continued. Therefore, the present invention is particularly effective in a motor drive system in which there is a great need for continuing an assist function by driving a motor, such as an electric power steering device.
  • the motor control device of the second aspect further has the following three drive modes on the premise of the above basic configuration.
  • (2) Without using the synchronization signal, the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer and the synchronization signal reception side Asynchronous drive mode in which the microcomputer drives the motor asynchronously

  • This motor control device includes a synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer and When the synchronization signal receiving side microcomputer is activated, the system may be shifted in the order of partial system drive mode, asynchronous drive mode, and synchronous drive mode.

  • the ready signal receiving step the synchronization signal transmitting side microcomputer receives the ready signal.
  • the handshake success determination step when at least a handshake including transmission / reception of a ready signal is normally performed, the handshake determination unit of the synchronization signal transmission side microcomputer and the synchronization signal reception side microcomputer determines that the handshake is successful. .
