Abstract
Description
図1は、モータの駆動制御を行う制御システムの概略構成を示す図である。先ず、制御システムについて説明する。制御システムは、標準PLC(Programmable Logic Controller)5が、上位コントローラとしてネットワーク1に接続されている。そして、そのネットワーク1には、複数台のサーボドライバ4が接続され、標準PLC5との信号の授受が可能となるように構成されている。なお、図1においては、1台のサーボドライバ4について、代表的にその機能的な構成を詳細に記載しているが、他のサーボドライバ4a、4bについてもサーボドライバ4と同等の機能的構成を有している。また、モータ2は、サーボドライバ4と動力線11で接続され、駆動電力の供給を受けている。同じように、モータ2a、2bは、それぞれ動力線11a、11bを介してサーボドライバ4a、4bから駆動電力の供給を受けている。以降、モータおよびサーボドライバの構造については、代表的にモータ2およびサーボドライバ4に基づいて説明する。
ここで、サーボドライバ4の通信部42と、それに対応するエンコーダ22との組合せの特定、すなわち、サーボドライバ4による、無線通信の対象となるエンコーダの特定に関する処理について、図4に基づいて説明する。上記の通り、当該特定処理が行われる前においては、各サーボドライバ4、4a、4bは、不特定のモータ2、2a、2b(のエンコーダ)とは無線通信可能な状態(本願発明の所定の通信状態に相当する)に置かれており、換言すれば、特定のモータのサーボ制御のために特定のモータ(のエンコーダ)と無線通信可能な状態には置かれてはいない。そのため、サーボドライバ4とエンコーダ22とはサーボ制御のための信号の授受を行うことができず、以て、モータ2のサーボ制御を実行することができない。したがって、当該特定処理は、図1に示す制御システムを実際に稼働するために必要な前処理と言える。そして、当該特定処理は、抽出部214による抽出処理を利用して、モータ本体21の巻線部25とエンコーダ22の処理部221との間で行われる、信号交換部216を介した所定信号の授受により実現される。
エンコーダ22の特定処理の第1態様について、図4に基づいて説明する。なお、図4に示す処理の前に、サーボドライバ4とモータ2とが動力線11によって結ばれるステップが設けられている。そして、S101でエンコーダ22の処理部221から、エンコーダ22を識別可能な情報であるエンコーダ識別情報が、サーボドライバ4に対して送信される。このエンコーダ識別情報の送信は、信号交換部216及びモータ2とサーボドライバ4とを繋いでいる動力線11を介して行われる。そして、S102で、サーボドライバ4の制御部41は、エンコーダ22から送信されたエンコーダ識別情報を受信する。その後、S103で、制御部41は、S102で受信したエンコーダ識別情報に基づいて、自己のサーボドライバ4に対応するエンコーダ(以下、「対応エンコーダ」ともいう)を特定する。動力線11は、サーボドライバ4に対して実際のモータ2を物理的に繋いでいるケーブルであるから、本実施形態の場合、動力線11を介して送信されてきた第1識別情報に基づいて、サーボドライバ4の対応エンコーダをエンコーダ22と特定することができる。換言すれば、サーボドライバ4の対応エンコーダは、モータ2aのエンコーダやモータ2bのエンコーダとは特定されることは無い。
エンコーダ22の特定処理の第2態様について、図5に基づいて説明する。なお、図5に示す処理の前に、サーボドライバ4とモータ2とが動力線11によって結ばれるステップが設けられている。そして、S201でエンコーダ22の処理部221から、エンコーダ22を識別可能な情報であるエンコーダ識別情報が、サーボドライバ4に対して送信される。このエンコーダ識別情報の送信は、信号交換部216及びモータ2とサーボドライバ4とを繋いでいる動力線11を介して行われる。そして、S202で、サーボドライバ4の制御部41は、エンコーダ22から送信されたエンコーダ識別情報を受信する。
エンコーダ22の特定処理の第3態様について、図6に基づいて説明する。なお、図6に示す処理の前に、サーボドライバ4とモータ2とが動力線11によって結ばれるステップが設けられている。そして、S301でサーボドライバ4の制御部11から、サーボドライバ4を識別可能な情報であるドライバ識別情報が、モータ2のエンコーダ22に対して送信される。このドライバ識別情報の送信は、モータ2とサーボドライバ4とを繋いでいる動力線11及び信号交換部216を介して行われる。そして、S302で、エンコーダ22の処理部221は、サーボドライバ4から送信されたドライバ識別情報を受信する。
上述までの制御システムでは、各モータのエンコーダと、それに対応するサーボドライバが無線通信を行うことで、各モータのサーボ制御が実現され、そのサーボ制御のための無線通信を可能とするために、図4~図6に示す特定処理が適用できる。ここで、図4~図6に示す特定処理は、上述までの制御システムに代えて、標準PLC5、各ドライバ4、4a、4b、そして各モータのエンコーダが、EtherCAT(登録商標)によってデイジーチェーン接続された状態で通信を行うシステムにも適用することができる。このような形態のシステムでも、ドライバに対応する特定のモータのエンコーダが特定される前は、EtherCATを介して当該ドライバは不特定のエンコーダと通信可能な状態に置かれているからである。したがって、EtherCATによってデイジーチェーン接続される制御システムにおいても、実質的に図4に示す特定処理と同質の処理を適用することで、サーボドライバ4とモータ2のエンコーダ22とを、本願発明の所定の通信状態に相当する状態から、特定のモータのサーボ制御のために特定のモータのエンコーダと無線通信可能な状態に至らせることになる。
