MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEM, MOTOR CONTROL METHOD, AND MOTOR CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A motor control system, comprising:
- a motor control device for controlling a motor of a cooling blower for cooling a battery incorporated in a vehicle; and
a host controller including a plurality of different pieces of control software applicable to a plurality of destinations for the cooling blower, the host controller transmitting and receiving control information of the motor to and from the motor control device by means of a PWM signal, whereinthe host controller transmits, to the motor control device by means of the PWM signal, a destination-signal request pattern for requesting a destination signal pattern to specify the destinations;
the motor control device transmits the destination signal pattern to the host controller upon receiving the destination-signal request pattern; and
the host controller specifies one of the destinations for the cooling blower from the destination signal pattern and changes over the control software to the control software applicable to the specified one of destinations for the cooling blower.

Abstract
A host controller is incorporated with a plurality of different pieces of control software which are applicable to a plurality of destinations for a cooling blower to cool a main battery incorporated in a vehicle. The host controller transmits a destination-signal request pattern for requesting a destination signal pattern to specify the determinations for the cooling blower, to a motor control device by means of a PWM signal. Upon receiving the destination-signal request pattern, the motor control device transmits the destination signal pattern to the host controller. The host controller specifies one of the destinations for the cooling blower from the received destination signal pattern, and then changes over the control software to the control software applicable to the specified destination for the cooling blower.

4. A method for controlling a motor of a cooling blower cooling a battery incorporated in a vehicle, wherein a host controller transmits and receives control information of the motor to and from a motor control device by means of a PWM signal, the host controller being incorporated with a plurality of different pieces of control software applicable to a plurality of destinations for the cooling blower, the motor control device controlling the motor, the method comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting by the host controller a destination-signal request pattern to the motor control device by means of the PWM signal, the destination-signal request pattern requesting a destination signal pattern to specify the destinations for the cooling blower; determining by the motor control device whether the destination-signal request pattern is contained in the PWM signal, upon receiving the PWM signal; generating by the motor control device the PWM signal based on the destination signal pattern when the destination-signal request pattern is contained or generating by the motor control device the PWM signal based on an actual rotating-speed information of the motor when the destination-signal request pattern is not contained, and transmitting by the motor control device the generated PWM signal to the host controller; and detecting by the host controller the destination signal pattern from the received PWM signal, specifying by the host controller one of the destinations for the cooling blower from the detected destination signal pattern, and switching over, by the host controller, to the control software applicable to the specified destination for the cooling blower.

5. A motor control device for controlling a motor of a cooling blower based on a PWM signal, the cooling blower cooling a battery incorporated in a vehicle, the PWM signal being received from a host controller, the motor control device comprising:
-
a PWM-signal detecting unit for detecting a PWM frequency and a PWM duty ratio of the PWM signal; a request-pattern determination unit for determining whether the PWM signal contains a destination-signal request pattern for requesting a destination signal pattern to specify destination for the cooling blower, based on an output of the PWM-signal detecting unit; and a PWM-signal generation unit for generating the PWM signal based on a determination result of the request-pattern determination unit, wherein the PWM-signal generation unit generates the PWM signal based on the destination signal pattern when the destination-signal request pattern is contained or the PWM-signal generation unit generates the PWM signal based on an actual rotating-speed information of the motor when the destination-signal request pattern is not contained; and
the PWM-signal generation unit transmits the generated PWM signal to the host controller. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
