Patent ID: 7002314

Claim:
An electric brake system using an electric motor to operate an electric brake, comprising: a target brake force setting portion for setting a target brake force corresponding to the amount of operation of a brake operating member; a target value setting portion for setting a target value for an output of said electric brake for generating the target brake force set by said target brake force setting portion; a feedback control portion for executing a feedback control for providing feedback on an actual control variable for said electric brake, and minimizing a difference between said target value and the actual control variable; overshoot detection portions for operating said electric brake to produce the output of said target value from said electric brake, and detecting occurrence of overshooting when the actual control variable for the electric brake overshoots said target value; and a feedback control variable correction portion for correcting a feedback control variable in said feedback control portion when said overshoot detection portion detects the overshooting.
