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 12):
An identification apparatus that identifies a type of brushless DC motor, wherein\n the brushless DC motor includes a circuit board on which a terminal for tachometer is mounted, the duty ratios of pulses outputted from the terminals for tachometer vary among a plurality of types of brushless DC motors, the identification apparatus comprises:\n a power supply terminal to supply a power supply voltage to the brushless DC motor; \n an input terminal for tachometer electrically connected to the terminal for tachometer of the circuit board; and \n a controller that identifies the type of the brushless DC motor, \n the controller acquires, via the input terminal for tachometer, a pulse outputted from the terminal for tachometer of the circuit board when the power supply voltage is supplied to the brushless DC motor via the power supply terminal, and the controller obtains the duty ratio of the pulse as a unique information piece of the brushless DC motor, and identifies the type of the brushless DC motor based on the unique information piece of the brushless DC motor.
