Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the command value based on real-time motor capability assessment. The command value generating portion modifies the command value according to the frequency characteristic of the motor and object machine, ensuring the command remains within achievable limits while maintaining measurement accuracy. This dynamic adaptation prevents output saturation and ensures reliable correspondence between command and actual motor response.

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of the command value (amplitude, frequency) based on the measured frequency characteristics of the motor and object machine. By adjusting these parameters to match the actual capabilities of the system being tested, the invention achieves accurate frequency characteristic measurement without causing output saturation or command-value non-correspondence.
