Problem

The responsiveness of motors controlled using PID control is affected by fluctuations in input voltage, leading to variations in response time due to the dependence of output voltage change speed on input voltage, resulting in unstable motor performance.

Innovation Solution

A control device that includes difference calculation circuitry, coefficient correction circuitry, output voltage determination circuitry, and signal generation circuitry, which calculates and adjusts the proportional and integral coefficients based on the ratio of reference voltage to current input voltage, stabilizing the output voltage control by correcting the coefficients to maintain consistent response time regardless of input voltage fluctuations.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters (proportional and integral coefficients) of the PID control based on the input voltage level. When input voltage varies, the coefficients are adjusted accordingly to maintain consistent motor responsiveness. This resolves the contradiction by adapting the control parameters to compensate for voltage fluctuations, ensuring stable responsiveness while maintaining speed control capability.
