2.3 Fuzzy Logic Controller

Fuzzy logic uses a knowledge based or a rule based controller,
which consists of input, processing and output stages. Fuzzy
Logic system is a system that processes analog values as
logical variables which can take on continuous values ranging
between 0 and 1, rather than the digital logic, that takes on
discrete values like true or false.

Components of a Fuzzy Controller:
Preprocessing
Fuzzification
Rule Base
Defuzzification
Post processing
The inputs to the Self-tuning Fuzzy Controller are speed error
"e (t)" and Change-in-speed error "de (t)".
e (t)=wr (t)-wa (t)
de (t)=e(t)-e(t-1)
Using fuzzy control rules the output control is adjusted, which
constitute the self control of D.C. machine.

Case 3: When constant is 1500RPM same model & it provides better results in comparison with
DC motor but the cost of the system will be very high, hence a
low cost model using AC supply can also be suggested for the
same.
