Abstract:
An identification method is an identification method for use in an identification apparatus that identifies types of brushless DC motors each including a circuit board on which a terminal for tachometer is mounted. The duty ratios of pulses outputted from the terminals for tachometer vary among multiple types of brushless DC motors. The identification method includes: supplying a power supply voltage from the identification apparatus to a brushless DC motor; inputting pulses outputted from the terminal for tachometer of the circuit board to the identification apparatus; obtaining the duty ratio of the pulses as a unique information piece of the brushless DC motor; and identifying the type of the brushless DC motor based on the unique information piece of the brushless DC motor.

Claim (Index 13):
A brushless DC motor comprising:\n a circuit board; a terminal for tachometer mounted on the circuit board; a coil; and a drive circuit that causes electricity to flow through the coil, wherein the duty ratios of pulses outputted from the terminals for tachometer for a preset identification period after input of power supply vary among a plurality of types of brushless DC motors.
