Patent ID: 8384322

Claim:
A motor control device comprising a voltage specifying unit which generates a specified voltage signal indicating a target value of an applied voltage to a motor on the basis of a specified current signal indicating a target value of supplied current to the motor, so as to control the motor in accordance with the specified voltage signal, wherein an update unit is further provided, which sequentially updates a specified field current signal that is a field current component of the specified current signal to be given to the voltage specifying unit on the basis of difference information between a value of the specified voltage signal and a limit voltage value defined as an upper limit value of the applied voltage, the update unit includes a low pass filter, and the specified field current signal after the update is generated on the basis of a signal obtained by passing the specified field current signal before the update through the low pass filter and the difference information, or the specified field current signal after the update is generated on the basis of a signal obtained by passing an intermediate signal derived from the specified field current signal before the update and the difference information through the low pass filter.
