Abstract
A synchronous control apparatus capable of switching cam curves with ease and without delay is provided. A cam curve storing unit stores a representation of a first cam curve and a representation of a second cam curve. Before switch-over of the cam curves, a control unit finds a position command value to a driven-side member, after the switch-over of the cam curves, the control unit finds the position command value, and in a switch-over period of the cam curves, the control unit finds the position command value to the driven-side member based on a value obtained by utilizing first data based on the first cam curve or a position of the driven shaft and second data based on the second cam curve to provide a weighted average at each control timing.
