Abstract

Apparatus, method and program for controlling electric motors to drive movable objects, wherein an input-rectifying device is operable, when a control signal to be applied to one of the electric motors requires the motor to be operated so as to operate the object in a direction opposite to a predetermined direction, to rectify the control signal so as to limit a motion of the object in the opposite direction, and a differential-control-quantity compensating device is operable after expiration of a predetermined time after a differential control quantity used together with proportional and integral control quantities to generate a control signal to be applied to another motor is updated on the basis of an error between a detected speed and a target speed of the object, so as to reduce the differential control quantity.
