Abstract:
A motor drive device of the present invention includes: a rectification circuit configured to rectify an AC voltage; a power source unit configured to smooth a DC voltage by a capacitor; an inverter unit configured to drive a motor by converting a DC voltage into an AC voltage; a current detection unit configured to measure a current flowing through a resistor which is connected to a coil of the motor and the capacitor; a voltage detection unit configured to measure a value of a voltage across the capacitor; a second switch that grounds the capacitor; and an insulation resistance detection unit configured to detect an insulation resistance value of a motor by using two sets of a current value and a voltage value measured in two states where the second switch is turned off and turned on.
Abstract:
A data reception unit carries out reception of data, which consists of a combination of switching noise resistant states and switching noise nonresistant states, over a fixed serial communication time a plurality of times for each fixed serial communication period same as the one or a plurality of the switching periods. A serial communication time setting unit sets the serial communication time different from one or a plurality of the switching periods, based on the switching period, the serial communication period, and the communication speed of the data communication device, so that the starts of all of the switching periods within the serial communication time are consistent with the time of reception of the switching noise resistant state at the time of at least one of the reception of the data among a plurality of times of the reception of the data.
Abstract:
A motor drive apparatus includes an inverter which has an upper and lower arms each provided with a plurality of semiconductor switching devices and free-wheeling diodes connected in reverse parallel with respective ones of the plurality of semiconductor switching devices, wherein the semiconductor switching devices are controlled on and off to convert DC to AC, a short-circuiting unit which includes a selector switch between motor phase windings of a synchronous motor, the selector switch being opened and closed under the control of a command, and a dynamic braking control unit which, upon reception of a dynamic braking start command, performs control so as to turn on all of the semiconductor switching devices provided in either one of the upper and lower arms and to turn off all of the semiconductor switching devices provided in the other arm, and thereafter controls the short-circuiting unit so that the selector switch is closed.
