Abstract

An object of the present invention is realizing a highly accurate synchronous control device which does not cause time lag by detecting the rotational frequency and phase simultaneously perpetually by same signal in the synchronous control of plural electric motors. The synchronous control device synchronizes accurately rotational frequency and rotation phase of an electric motor or a machine axis driven by the electric motor. A master section outputs phase signals or frequency signals based on rotational frequency reference. On the other hand, a slave section detects master rotational frequency setting signals and master phase setting signals simultaneously and perpetually by using the phase signals or frequency signals from the master section, and detects rotational frequency feedback signals and phase feedback signals simultaneously and perpetually based on output of a rotary encoder attached to an electric motor or connected to an machine axis driven by the electric motor, then detects phase deviation perpetually out of the master phase setting signals and the phase feedback signals. The electric motor of the slave section or the machine axis driven thereby is synchronously controlled based on the phase deviation, said master rotational frequency setting signals and said rotational frequency feedback signals. Also, the master section may provide a control device for controlling the electric motor, and a means for sending frequency signals outputted from a rotary encoder attached to the electric motor or a rotary encoder connected to an machine axis driven by the electric motor to the slave section.
