Abstract
A drive control device includes a plurality of drive instruction systems. Each drive instruction system includes a communication unit, angle detection unit, calculation unit, distribution unit, and drive control unit. The communication unit receives an instruction about a position of a pitman arm from a higher-level device. The angle detection unit detects the angle of the pitman arm. The calculation unit calculates a drive torque for the pitman arm based on the instruction and the angle of the pitman arm. The distribution unit distributes the drive torque according to a predetermined ratio. The drive control unit controls the drive unit. One of the drive instruction systems performs a torque distribution process including a calculation process by the calculation unit and a distribution process by the distribution unit. The drive control unit in each drive instruction system synchronously controls the drive unit with a torque distributed by the torque distribution process.
