Abstract

This article presents a methodology and verification for implementation of a rule-based fuzzy logic controller applied to a closed loop DC motor speed control. The designed Fuzzy Logic Controller’s performance is compared against with that of a PI controller. The importances of the Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLCs) over the conventional controllers are: They are economically advantageous to develop and implement, a wider range of operating conditions can be covered using FLCs, They are easier to adapt in terms of natural language. For Voltage / Speed control of the conveyor, a reference speed has been used and the control architecture includes rules. These rules portray a nonchalant relationship between two inputs and an output, all of which are nothing but normalized voltages.
