- the processor 3c variably controls the resistance value of the potentiometer RL1 and the voltage value of the resistance detection power supply Vdet of the resistance detection power supply circuit 21b according to the initial resistance value of the actuator 13 stored in the ROM 33. I did it.
- the processor 3c detects the resistance of the actuator 13 at a predetermined period and timing based on the information on the presence / absence of the holding period and the information on the timing of the resistance detection period stored in the ROM 33.
- the processor 3c constituting the actuator control device of the present embodiment can perform optimal abnormality detection according to the type of the actuator 13 mounted on the endoscope 2a.
- a minute change in the resistance value of the actuator can be detected with high sensitivity without causing the actuator to malfunction.
- the processor 3c variably controls the resistance value of the potentiometer RL1 and the voltage value of the resistance detection power supply Vdet of the resistance detection power supply circuit 21b in accordance with the initial resistance value of the actuator 13, there is a solid variation in the actuator 13. Even in such a case, the abnormality of the actuator 13 can be detected with high sensitivity.
- the processor 3c variably controls the resistance value of the potentiometer RL1 and the voltage value of the resistance detection power supply Vdet of the resistance detection power supply circuit 21b according to the initial resistance value of the actuator 13, so It is possible to detect deterioration.
