Abstract

A position control system for positioning a D.C. motor at a desired position operates in a speed detection mode in which the D.C. motor is driven to rotate at a predetermined high speed, and in a position detection mode wherein the position of the D.C. motor is precisely controlled. In the speed detection mode, the control circuit forms a phase-locked-loop (PLL) control circuit which compares the phases of the speed instructing pulse signal and the rectangular signal derived from the actual rotation of the D.C. motor. The motor speed is controlled in accordance with the phase difference between the speed instructing pulse signal and the rectangular signal derived from the actual rotation of the D.C. motor.
