Self-constructing fuzzy neural network speed controller forpermanent-magnet synchronous motor drive

A self-constructing fuzzy neural network (SCFNN) which is suitable for practical implementation is proposed. The structure and the parameter learning phases are performed concurrently and online in the SCFNN. The structure learning is based on the partition of input space and the parameter learning is based on the supervised gradient decent method using a delta adaptation law. Several simulation and experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SCFNN control stratagem with the implementation of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor speed drive. Moreover, the simulation results of time varying and nonlinear disturbances are given to show the dynamic characteristics of the proposed controller over a broad range of operating conditions

A combination of fuzzy logic and neural network controller for multiple-input multiple-output systems

Generally, the difficulty of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems control is how to overcome the coupling effects between the degrees of freedom. Owing to the computational burden and dynamic uncertainty of MIMO systems, the model-based decoupling approach is not practical for real-time control. A hybrid fuzzy logic and neural network controller (HFNC) is proposed here to overcome this problem and to improve the control performance. Firstly, a traditional fuzzy controller (TFC) is designed from a single-input single-output (SISO) systems viewpoint for controlling the degrees of freedom of a MIMO system. Secondly, an appropriate coupling neural network controller is introduced into the TFC for compensating the system coupling effects. This control strategy not only can simplify the implementation problem of fuzzy control but also can improve the control performance. The state-space approach for fuzzy control systems stability analysis is employed to evaluate the stability and robustness of this intelligent hybrid controller. In addition, a dynamic absorber with a twolevel mass-spring-damper structure was designed and constructed to verify the stability and robustness of a HFNC by numerical simulation and to investigate the control performance by comparing the experimental results of the HFNC with that of a TFC for this MIMO system.     

Digital fuzzy logic controller: design and implementation

In this paper, various aspects of digital fuzzy logic controller (FLC) design and implementation are discussed, Classic and improved models of the single-input single-output (SISO), multiple-input single-output (MISC), and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) FLCs are analyzed in terms of hardware cost and performance. A set of universal parameters to characterize any hardware realization of digital FLCs is defined. The comparative study of classic and alternative MIMO FLCs is presented as a generalization of other controller configurations. A processing element for the parallel FLC architecture realizing improved inferencing of MIMO system is designed, characterized, and tested. Finally, as a case feasibility study, a direct data stream architecture for complete digital fuzzy controller is shown as an improved solution for high-speed, cost-effective, real-time control applications     

Design and implementation of the tree-based fuzzy logic controller

In this paper, a tree-based approach is proposed to design the fuzzy logic controller. Based on the proposed methodology, the fuzzy logic controller has the following merits: the fuzzy control rule can be extracted automatically from the input-output data of the system and the extraction process can be done in one-pass; owing to the fuzzy tree inference structure, the search spaces of the fuzzy inference process are largely reduced; the operation of the inference process can be simplified as a one-dimensional matrix operation because of the fuzzy tree approach; and the controller has regular and modular properties, so it is easy to be implemented by hardware. Furthermore, the proposed fuzzy tree approach has been applied to design the color reproduction system for verifying the proposed methodology. The color reproduction system is mainly used to obtain a color image through the printer that is identical to the original one. In addition to the software simulation, an FPGA is used to implement the prototype hardware system for real-time application. Experimental results show that the effect of color correction is quite good and that the prototype hardware system can operate correctly under the condition of 30 MHz clock rate.     

Circuit implementation of linguistic-hedge fuzzy logic controller in current-mode approach

In this paper, a novel fuzzy logic controller called linguistic-hedge fuzzy logic controller in a mixed-signal circuit design is discussed. The linguistic-hedge fuzzy logic controller has the following advantages: 1) it needs only three simple-shape membership functions for characterizing each variable prior to the linguistic-hedge modifications; 2) it is sufficient to adopt nine rules for inference; 3) the rules are developed intuitively without heavy dependence on the endeavors of experts; 4) it performs better than conventional fuzzy logic controllers; and 5) it can be realized with a lower design complexity and a smaller hardware overhead as compared with the controllers that required more than nine rules. In this implementation, a current-mode approach is adopted in designing the signal processing portions to simplify the circuit complexity; digital circuits are adopted to implement the programmable units. This design was fabricated with a TSMC 0.35 /spl mu/m single-polysilicon-quadruple-metal CMOS process. In this chip, the LHFLC processes two input variables and one output variable. Each variable is specified using three membership functions. Nine inference rules, scheduled in a rule table with a dimension of 3 /spl times/ 3, define the relationship implications between these three variables. Under a supply voltage of 3.3 V, the measurement results show that the measured control surface and the control goal are consistent. The speed of inference operation goes up to 0.5M FLIPS that is fast enough for the control application of the cart-pole balance system. The cart-pole balance system experimental results show that this chip works with nine inference rules. Furthermore, by performing some off-chip modifications, such as shifting and scaling on the input signals and output signal of this design, according to the specifications defined by the controlled plants, this design is suitable for many control applications.     

Design of a force reflection controller for telerobot systems using neural network and fuzzy logic

This paper presents a new method for selecting the force-reflection gain in a position-force type bilateral teleoperation system. The force-reflection gain greatly affects the task performance of a teleoperation system; too small gain results in poor task performance while too large gain results in system instability. The maximum boundary of the gain guaranteeing the stability greatly depends upon characteristics of the elements in the system such as: a master arm which is combined with the human operator's hand and the environments with which the slave arm contacts. In normal practice, it is, therefore, very difficult to determine such maximum boundary of the gain. To overcome this difficulty, this paper proposes a force-reflection gain selecting algorithm based on artificial neural network and fuzzy logic. The method estimates characteristics of the master arm and the environments by using neural networks and, then, determines the force-reflection gain from the estimated characteristics by using fuzzy logic. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, a series of experiments are conducted under various conditions of teleoperation using a laboratory-made telerobot system.     

Improving performance of switched reluctance motor by fuzzy logic controller

This paper presents torque ripple minimization of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) by using a fuzzy controller. The nonlinear model of the SRM and the mathematical model of the converter circuit are driven. The motor used in both simulation and experiment is an 8/6 four phase SRM with a C-Dump converter. The applied fuzzy controller adjusts the value of the reference current to keep the speed of the motor constant. The results show that the fuzzy logic is effective in reducing the torque ripple of the motor, and compensating for the nonlinear torque characteristics. The experimental result is given for a current control algorithm, and it shows that the quite nonlinear model of the SRM is well defined. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A fuzzy logic controller for an ABS braking system

Anti-blocking system (ABS) brake controllers pose unique challenges to the designer: a) For optimal performance, the controller must operate at an unstable equilibrium point, b) Depending on road conditions, the maximum braking torque may vary over a wide range, c) The tire slippage measurement signal, crucial for controller performance, is both highly uncertain and noisy, d) On rough roads, the tire slip ratio varies widely and rapidly due to tire bouncing, and e) The braking system contains transportation delays which limit the control system bandwidth. A digital controller design was chosen which combines a fuzzy logic element and a decision logic network. The controller identifies the current road condition and generates a command braking pressure signal, based on current and past readings of the slip ratio and brake pressure. The controller detects wheel blockage immediately and avoids excessive slipping. The ABS system performance is examined on a quarter vehicle model with nonlinear elastic suspension. The parallelity of the fuzzy logic evaluation process ensures rapid computation of the controller output signal, requiring less time and fewer computation steps than controllers with adaptive identification. The robustness of the braking system is investigated on rough roads and in the presence of large measurement noise. This paper describes design criteria, and the decision and rule structure of the control system. The simulation results present the system's performance on various road types and under rapidly changing road conditions     

A PWM fuzzy logic controller

Researchers usually implement fuzzy inference systems in software on digital computers or microprocessors. This approach copes with most problems, however real-time systems often require very short time responses. In this case, a hardware implementation becomes the only solution. This 1.5-μm CMOS implementation uses a current mode circuit to generate input membership functions and processes inferences using pulse width modulation     

An improved neural network for fuzzy reasoning implementation

Neural networks or connectionist models are massively parallel interconnections of simple neurons that work as a collective system, can emulate human performance and provide high computation rates. On the other hand, fuzzy systems are capable to model uncertain or ambiguous situations that are so often encountered in real life. One way for implementing fuzzy systems is through utilizations of the expert system architecture. Recently, many attempts have been made to “fuse” fuzzy systems and neural nets in order to achieve better performance in reasoning and decision making processes. The systems that result from such a fusion are called neuro-fuzzy inference systems and possess combined features. The purpose of the present paper is to propose such a neuro-fuzzy system by extending and improving the system of Keller et al. (1992). The present system makes use of Hamacher's fuzzy intersection function and Sugeno's complement function. After a brief outline of the operation of the system its features are established with the aid of four theorems which are fully proved. The capabilities of the system are shown by a set of simulation results derived for the case of trapezoidal fuzzy sets. These results are shown to be better than the ones obtained with the original neuro-fuzzy system of Keller et al.     

Genetic algorithm design of neural network and fuzzy logic controllers

This paper discusses the design of neural network and fuzzy logic controllers using genetic algorithms, for real-time control of flows in sewerage networks. The soft controllers operate in a critical control range, with a simple set-point strategy governing “easy” cases. The genetic algorithm designs controllers and set-points by repeated application of a simulator. A comparison between neural network, fuzzy logic and benchmark controller performance is presented. Global and local control strategies are compared. Methods to reduce execution time of the genetic algorithm, including the use of a Tabu algorithm for training data selection, are also discussed. The results indicate that local control is superior to global control, and that the genetic algorithm design of soft controllers is feasible even for complex flow systems of a realistic scale. Neural network and fuzzy logic controllers have comparable performance, although neural networks can be successfully optimised more consistently.

Single-chip fuzzy logic controller design and an application on a permanent magnet dc motor

This paper describes a low-cost single-chip PI-type fuzzy logic controller design and an application on a permanent magnet dc motor drive. The presented controller application calculates the duty cycle of the PWM chopper drive and can be used to dc–dc converters as well. The self-tuning capability makes the controller robust and all the tasks are carried out by a single chip reducing the cost of the system and so program code optimization is achieved. A simple, but effective algorithm is developed to calculate numerical values instead of linguistic rules. In this way, external memory usage is eliminated. The contribution of this paper is to present the feasibility of a high-performance non-linear fuzzy logic controller which can be implemented by using a general purpose microcontroller without modified fuzzy methods. The developed fuzzy logic controller was simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The theoretical and experimental results indicate that the implemented fuzzy logic controller has a high performance for real-time control over a wide range of operating conditions.     

Stability analysis and implementation of chopper fed DC series motor with hybrid PID-ANN controller

The attempt is made to enhance the performance of a closed loop control of DC series motor fed by DC chopper (DC-DC buck converter) by hybridization of PID controller with an intelligent control using ANN (Artificial Neural Network) controller. This system consists of inner current controller loop and outer PID-ANN based speed controller loop. The current controller allows the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal when the motor current is less than set value. The PID-ANN speed controller controls the motor voltage by controlling the duty cycle of the chopper thereby the motor speed is regulated. The PID-ANN controller performances are analyzed in both steady state and dynamic operating condition with various set speed and various load torque. The rise time, maximum over shoot, settling time, steady state error and speed drops are taken for comparison with conventional PID controller and existing work. The steady state stability analysis of the system also is made by using the transfer function model with MATLAB. The training data for PID-ANN controller is taken from conventional PID controller. The Hybrid PID-ANN controller with DC chopper has better control over the conventional PID controller and the reported existing work. This system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and also it is implemented with a NXP 80C51 family Microcontroller (P89V51RD2 BN) based Embedded System.
