Abstract
A method for controlling a permanent magnet synchronous motor having a rotor using a permanent magnet, the rotor rotating by a rotating magnetic field caused by a current flowing through an armature is provided. The method includes: presuming, based on a target speed and an estimated speed that is an estimated value of a rotational speed of the rotor, whether or not a step-out occurs; correcting, when it is presumed that a step-out occurs, an estimated angle that is an estimated value of a position of magnetic poles of the rotor; and controlling, based on a post-correction estimated angle that is the estimated angle after the correction, a current flowing through the armature to cause the rotating magnetic field rotating at the target speed.
