ABSTRACT:

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling an electric motor (direct current motor, induction motor, synchronous motor, linear motor, etc.) that drives a load machine such as, for example, a table of a machine tool, and an arm of a robot, etc.
BACKGROUND ARTS
A description is given of a construction of a prior art example on the basis of drawings.
FIG. 79
shows a block diagram of an apparatus for controlling a prior art electric motor, which has been disclosed by Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei-9-131087. In
FIG. 79
,
20
denotes a servo system,
21
denotes a controlling portion,
22
denotes an approximate model,
23
denotes a model identifying portion,
24
denotes a control gain adjusting portion,
25
denotes a changeover means,
26
denotes a canonical model and
27
denotes an evaluation calculating portion.
Next, a description is further given of actions of the prior art example described above. As shown in
FIG. 79
, the prior art example is provided with a model identifying portion
23
to prepare an approximate model
22
, and a control gain adjusting apparatus
24
that carries out automatic adjustment of control gains by using a genetic algorithm method. In the model identifying portion
23
, appropriate models to perform adjustment are defined in advance in the approximate model
22
, and only unknown constants are identified by the least-squares method. In the control gain adjusting apparatus
24
, the control gains are optimized by utilizing the genetic algorithm. Also, during the adjustment, the control gain adjusting apparatus
24
is changed to the side of an object to be controlled, and a normal operation is commenced. By the abovementioned adjusting apparatus and adjustment method, the control gain of a servo system can be optimally adjusted at a high speed without being biased by a local solution.
However, in the prior art apparatus, only the real control portion
21
is utilized when optimizing the control gain, and this may cause an inconvenience in the applications thereof. In addition, since an identifying instruction is the same as a real instruction, it is difficult to change the instruction. There is another problem in that a longer adjustment time is required.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to automatically and optimally adjust the control gain at a high speed.
