Rotational angle detector which prevents controlled system from being improperly controlled
First Claim
1. A rotational angle detector comprising:
- a rotational angle detecting section which detects an angle detection signal correspondent to a rotational state of a rotor in a short cycle and feeds the angle detection signal to a control section;
the control section which calculates the angle detection signal fed from the rotational angle detecting section and sends an angle set signal through a controller to a controlled system; and
a memory which stores the angle detection signal temporarily and also stores an allowable maximum angle value for the angle detection signal, wherein the control section makes an output cycle for the angle set signal longer than a detection cycle for the angle detection signal and counts a number of times when the angle detection signal as fed within the long output cycle for the angle detection signal is beyond the allowable maximum angle value and, if the count is judged as being beyond a preset number, outputs an abnormality signal instead of the angle set signal.

Abstract
A rotational angle detector which comprises: a rotational angle detecting section which detects an angle detection signal correspondent to a rotational state of a rotor in a short cycle and feeds it to a control section; the control section which calculates the fed angle detection signal and sends an angle set signal through a controller to a controlled system; and a memory which stores the angle detection signal temporarily and also stores an allowable maximum angle value for the angle detection signal, wherein the control section makes the output cycle for the angle set signal longer than the detection cycle for the angle detection signal and counts the number of times when the angle detection signal as fed within the long output cycle for the angle detection signal is beyond the allowable maximum angle value and, if it decides that the count is beyond a preset number, outputs an abnormality signal instead of the angle set signal.

5. A rotational angle detector comprising:
-
a rotational angle detecting section which detects an angle detection signal correspondent to a rotational state of a rotor and feeds the angle detection signal to a control section;
the control section which calculates the angle detection signal fed from the rotational angle detecting section to generate an angle set signal and sends the generated angle set signal through a controller to a controlled system; and
a memory which stores an allowable maximum setting, wherein the control section concurrently performs a first calculation step and a second calculation step for the fed angle detection signal fed from the rotational angle detecting section to generate a first angle set signal and a second angle set signal, calculates the difference between the first angle set signal and second angle set signal, compares the calculated difference with the allowable maximum setting, and if the calculated difference is judged as being above the allowable maximum setting, outputs an abnormality signal in addition to the angle set signal. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
