Controlling DC Motor Speed using a Fuzzy Logic Controller in Real Time

Abstract

Fuzzy logic is very speedily used in various industrial applications like steel rolling mills, electric trains and robotic manipulators. It uses linguistic variable. A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is based on a set of fuzzyrules among linguistic variables. This dissertation report explains about Implementation of fuzzy logic PIC microcontroller for speed control of dc motor. The dissertation report aims the software and hardware development of prototype to control speed of DC motor. The software includes the design and development of Fuzzy logic controller in MATLAB Simulation. The hardware comprises design of a DC motor driver which is used as an interface between DC motor and fuzzy logic with PIC16F877A microcontroller. The controller is designed using small amount of components and proves to be a compact and low cost solution for speed control of DC motor.”The proposed fuzzy logic controller results in a better response compared to the basic PID controller with normal response of DC motor”. In outline, this paper would like to exhibit the ability of fuzzy logic in planning a controller for a DC motor.
