Since the servo control system is constructed as described above, crossover wiring among the servo drivers

. . . is connected to the host controller

, wiring by one servo driver becomes unnecessary.




By the way, the servo control system constructed as described above does not make reference to a technique of processing regenerative electric power from the motors


1


-


1


to


1


-


3


. . . . As such regenerative electric power processing, for example, as described in JP-A-8-289591 (see FIG.


6


), in the case that a configuration for forming an output of a power source

into DC and connecting a capacitor to said output is adopted, when motors


1


-


1


to


1


-

1


-


1


to


1


-


3


. . . .




However, since said capacitor is placed intensively, all the regenerative energy cannot be stored in the capacitor in addition of the motors


1


with an increase in the number of control shafts, change in rated capacity of the motor


1


-


1


etc. with an increase in a load, use with high regenerative frequency. Thus, the regenerative energy incapable of being stored is consumed by a regenerative resistor, but it is not desirable from the viewpoint of effective use of the energy.




On the other hand, in the case that a capacitor capacity is determined assuming usage in which regenerative energy is large with respect to all the motors


1


-


1


to


1


-


3


. . . , there was a problem that there is too room in a capacitance of a capacitor and the capacitor becomes large-scale more than necessary when the number of control shafts of the motors


1


-


1


to


1


-


3


. . . decreases or regenerative electric power generated from the motors


1


-


1


to


1


-


3


. . . is small.




On the contrary, when an inverter for regeneration for regenerating the regenerative electric power to an AC power source is used, there was a problem that the servo control system becomes complicated and large-scale.

A procedure for selecting the capacitor unit in the servo control system constructed as described above will be described by

FIG. 7

is a flowchart showing a procedure for determining a capacitance value of a capacitor to be added.




Here, in the case of determining a capacitance value of a capacitor, in a state in which the motors


61


are mounted in a controlled target, namely a state in which the servo control system

A servo control system is operated by a starting command (step S

). That is, a host controller


30


gives a command to the centralized control part


46


through an I/F


42


in the control unit


40


, and the centralized control part

gives a command to a control part

Also, a diode stack


14


converts an AC power source


10


into a DC voltage, and this DC voltage is supplied to each the drive units

When the motors


61

proceed to a regenerative mode by a load, electric power is stored in the capacitors


58

,


74


through the inverter


59


and thereby a voltage of DC buses P, N increases and a voltage detector


95


detects said voltage value (step S


109


).




The voltage detector


95


determines whether or not a DC bus voltage V


d


detected is higher than a predetermined reference voltage value V


dn


(step S


111


) and if the DC bus voltage V


d


>the voltage value V


dn


, the voltage detector


95


generates a signal and the centralized control part


46


switches a regenerative transistor


16


until it becomes the voltage value V


dn


and thereby the voltage V


d


of the DC buses P, N decreases (step S


113


) and it is determined whether or not the voltage V


d


of the DC buses P, N detected by the voltage detector


95


is lower than or equal to the reference voltage value V


dn


(step S


115


) and if so, the regenerative transistor


16


is turned off (step S

Next, the centralized control part


46


determines whether or not the consumption energy W

exceeds the storage energy W

(step S

A capacitance C

of this add-on capacitor

to be added is indicated on an display unit

. By this indication, a capacitor unit


70


in which the number of add-on capacitors


74


is large is mounted in the back panel


80


and the regenerative resistor


19


is removed.




Incidentally, when the add-on capacitor


74


cannot be added, the regenerative resistor


19


having a capacity equivalent to the capacitor storage energy running short is mounted in the terminal


18


.




In this manner, after the capacitor unit


70

100


is selected, the servo control system


100


is operated.




As described above, each the drive unit


50


has the capacitor

According to other invention, consumption energy in which the regenerative energy generated from the motor is consumed by a resistor is compared with storage energy capable of being stored in the capacitor, so that there is an effect capable of determining whether or not the regenerative energy can be stored by the capacitor mounted in the servo control system.




According to other invention, a capacitance value of an add-on capacitor to be added becomes clear, so that there is an effect of facilitating selection etc. of the capacitor unit.
