Abstract

See full text

A rotational angle detector which comprises: a rotational angle detecting section which detects an angle detection signal correspondent to a rotational state of a rotor in a short cycle and feeds it to a control section; the control section which calculates the fed angle detection signal and sends an angle set signal through a controller to a controlled system; and a memory which stores the angle detection signal temporarily and also stores an allowable maximum angle value for the angle detection signal, wherein the control section makes the output cycle for the angle set signal longer than the detection cycle for the angle detection signal and counts the number of times when the angle detection signal as fed within the long output cycle for the angle detection signal is beyond the allowable maximum angle value and, if it decides that the count is beyond a preset number, outputs an abnormality signal instead of the angle set signal.
