A resolver is a sensor that detects the position of the magnetic poles, which are indispensable for ensuring highly efficient control of MG2 and MG1.
The resolver stator contains an excitation coil and 2 detection coils. The gap between the stator and rotor changes as the rotor turns because the rotor is oval shaped. An alternating current with a predetermined frequency flows through the excitation coil, and detection coils S and C output alternating currents in accordance with the sensor rotor position.
The MG ECU detects the absolute position of the rotor according to the phases of detection coils S and C and the height of their waveforms. Furthermore, the CPU calculates the amount of change in the position within a predetermined length of time, in order to use the resolver as a speed sensor.
The MG ECU monitors signals output from the motor resolver and detects malfunctions.
