Abstract
A motor controller includes: a rotation speed estimating unit that estimates a rotation speed of an motor on the basis of current information and primary frequency information of the motor; a proximity switch that outputs an ON signal when a portion of a rotating body of the motor is in proximity and outputs an OFF signal when a portion of the rotating body of the motor is not in proximity; a rotation speed computing unit that computes a rotation speed of the motor on the basis of the ON signal and the OFF signal output from the proximity switch; and an abnormality detection unit that detects an abnormality in the rotation speed estimation value or an abnormality in the proximity switch when a difference between the estimated rotation speed estimation value and the computed rotation speed computation value is equal to or larger than a threshold.
