Abstract

A motor control method is provided in which a cycle between at least one of leading edges and trailing edges of a pulse signal is measured. The pulse signal is outputted from a pulse signal generator which generates a pulse signal every time a driven target is driven for a specified distance by a motor. A driving velocity of the driven target is calculated from the measured edge cycle. A manipulated variable of the motor is calculated such that the calculated driving velocity corresponds to a specified target velocity, and the motor is driven and controlled based on the manipulated variable. The driving velocity is replaced with a specified set velocity that is lower than the target velocity, when no output of edges from the pulse signal generator continues for and over a specified replacement determination time while the motor is driven and controlled.
