Abstract
A conventional method for driving a servo-motor carried out control by means of a current feedback loop, using a current sensor and an A/D converter; therefore, the number of parts was great, cost reduction was difficult and it was difficult to avoid control errors caused by errors in the precision of the current sensor. A method for driving a servo-motor of the present invention comprises detecting a power voltage (V) of a servo-motor (4), controlling a voltage command (Vcmd) to a power converter (3) by numeric calculation using a detected value (Vcc) of this power voltage (V), and controlling power of a drive current (Iu, Iv, Iw).
