Motor Control Getting Fuzzy

Posted March 23, 2008 8:24 AM

There is a movement to adopt fuzzy logic-based systems over proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. The goal is to simplify variable-speed drive motor designs and reduce development time. The article addresses brushless DC motor control, the fuzzification/defuzzification process, fuzzy inference rules, and associated hardware and software. Are you ready for fuzzy logic?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Electronic Product Design, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Electronic Product Design today.

The article describes writing a PID algorithm using statements very similar to BASIC.
