Abstract
A closed-loop feedback control system is disclosed for controlling an operation of a load. An actual operation signal is subtracted from a reference operation signal to produce a resultant signal which is used to control the operation of the load. A filter unit, such as a notch filter, operates to suppress any machine resonance frequencies found in the operation signal due to load fluctuations, machine variations, operating environment changes, deterioration with age, etc. A filter coefficient of the filter unit is adjusted so that any fluctuation in the resonance frequency can be suppressed effectively.
