MOTOR CONTROL DEVICE

A motor control device includes an instruction position detector that calculates, as an instruction position detection value, a position detection value at an external instruction timing. The instruction position detector includes an internal counter, a detection position calculator, and a correction value generator. The internal counter outputs a count value counted at a cyclic interval shorter than a position read cycle that is an interval at which a motor position detected by a rotary encoder mounted on a motor is read as a position detection value. The detection position calculator controls a rotation of the motor by use of the position detection value, is supplied with an external detection instruction signal including an instruction pulse, and calculates the instruction position detection value by use of a count value at the external instruction timing indicated by an edge of the instruction pulse. The correction value generator includes an external input terminal, an input circuit, a count value acquisition unit, and a correction value calculator.
