A motor driving device controls braking of multiple motors each having a braking device by using a single brake power supply. The braking device includes: an electromagnetic brake that releases braking of a rotary shaft of the motor by energizing a brake coil; a conductive disk configured to rotate together with the rotary shaft and connected in series with the brake coil; and a plurality of resistors provided on a surface of the disk so as to be periodically connected in series with the brake coil as the disk rotates. The motor driving device identifies a failed braking device of the braking devices, based on the current value of the current flowing from the brake power supply and the rotational positions of the rotary shafts of the multiple motors.

摘要:
A first switching element is connected to one end of a brake and switches from the off state to the on state when a switch command is input to cause a brake drive current to flow through the brake. A second switching element is connected to the other end of the brake and switches from the off state to the on state when the switch command is input to cause a brake drive current to flow through the brake. A voltage detection unit detects a brake voltage being applied to the brake. A switch command delay unit delays the switch command input to the first switching element. A short circuit determination unit determines whether or not a short circuit has occurred in the first switching element based on the brake voltage and the switch command delayed by the switch command delay unit.
