A fan includes a first blower and a second blower each having an impeller. The first blower includes a first motor and a first motor drive controller to control driving of the first motor and communicate with the second blower. The second blower includes a second motor and a second motor drive controller to control driving of the second motor and communicate with the first blower. The first motor drive controller controls the driving of the first motor based on a result of communication with the second blower.

Blower device

An abnormality determination device has a detection unit configured to detect a change in a phase of a position signal, the phase of the position signal changing depending on a rotation of a rotor of a motor, a time measurement unit configured to measure a time depending on a detection timing of the detection of the change in the phase of the position signal, a comparison unit configured to compare a first time measured by the time measurement unit with a second time measured before the first time is measured, and a determination unit configured to determine that a drive state of the motor is abnormal based on a comparison result of the comparison of the first time with the second time.

Abnormality determination device, motor device, abnormality determination method, and drive control method of motor

A motor driving control device has a motor driving unit configured to selectively energize coils with a plurality of phases of a motor, a control circuit unit configured to control an operation of the motor driving unit by outputting a driving control signal to the motor driving unit, and a position detector configured to output a position signal which corresponds to any one phase of the plurality of phases and a phase of which changes depending on a position of a rotor of the motor. the control circuit unit detects a transition of values of a back electromotive force induced in the one phase in a detection period corresponding to a change timing of the position signal when beginning to start up the motor, and determines a rotational state of the motor including a rotational direction of the motor based on a detection result of the transition of the values of the back electromotive force.

Motor driving control device and motor driving control method

A motor driving system has a first motor, a first motor driving control device for driving the first motor, a second motor, a second motor driving control device for driving the second motor, a controller performing communication with the first motor driving control device and the second motor driving control device, a first communication line for connecting a common terminal of the controller and the first motor driving control device; a second communication line for connecting the common terminal and the second motor driving control device, and a switch unit capable of switching each of the first and second communication lines between an enable state in which communication is possible by the communication line and an disable state in which communication is impossible under control of the controller. The controller controls the switch unit to set either the first or the second communication line to the enable state.
