A detection track includes a first detection element group that includes a plurality of first magnetic resistance elements arranged at a pitch &#x3bb;/(2n) when an order to cancel target harmonic components among a plurality of harmonic components superimposed on a fundamental component of a detection signal for multi-pole magnetic pattern is assumed as n, and a second detection element group that includes a plurality of second magnetic resistance elements arranged at the pitch &#x3bb;/(2n), a plurality of first dummy magnetic resistance elements arranged among the first magnetic resistance elements, and a plurality of second dummy magnetic resistance elements arranged among the second magnetic resistance elements. Pitches between adjacent magnetic resistance elements among the first magnetic resistance elements and the first dummy magnetic resistance element are equivalent to one another, and pitches between adjacent magnetic resistance elements among the second magnetic resistance elements and the second dummy magnetic resistance element are equivalent to one another.

The encoder includes a plurality of position-detection-signal generation systems that generates electrical signals as position detection signals having different cycles, respectively; a first computing unit that calculates first position data based on the position detection signals generated by the position-detection-signal generation systems; a second computing unit that calculates second position data based on electrical signals generated by fewer ones of the position-detection-signal generation systems than in the first computing unit; and a failure determination unit that determines whether the encoder is defective based on a comparison between the first position data and the second position data.

Encoder

The present invention provides a motor control device including a feedback control system that generates a torque command for reducing a difference between an operation command signal for commanding an operation of a motor and a detection signal of a detector attached to the motor to detect a position and speed of the motor and drives the motor. The motor control device includes a correcting unit configured to estimate an amplitude and a phase of a correction amount for suppressing the detection error included in the detection signal and sequentially update estimation values of the amplitude and the phase and a post-correction-detection-signal calculating unit configured to generate a post-correction detection signal, which is a difference between the detection signal and the correction amount, instead of the detection signal.
