Abstract

Provided is a motor controller including: a rotation control unit configured to control a rotation of a motor; a brake control unit configured to control an operation of a brake for holding a rotor with respect to a stator of the motor; a rotation-state detection unit configured to detect a rotation state of the motor; a timer configured to measure, in a released state where an operation of the brake is released by the brake control unit, a time from an outputting of a command to change over a state of the brake to a locked state to a detection of a predetermined change in a rotation state of the motor by the rotation-state detection unit; and a determination unit configured to determine that a brake operation delay abnormality is present when the time, measured by the timer, is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold.
