Use of a Rule-Based System

چکیده

A rule-based, digital, closedloop controller that incorporates “fuzzy” logic has been designed and implemented for the control of power on the 5-MWt Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Research Reactor under both steady-state and transient conditions. Based on this experience and having designed several other controllers for the same purpose, a comparison is made of the rule-based and analytic approaches. Differences in the division of labor between plant engineers and control specialists, the type of knowledge required and its acquisition, the use of performance criteria, and controller testing are discussed. The design, implementation, and calibration of rulebased controllers are reviewed, with specific examples taken from the completed work on the MIT Research Reactor. An evaluation is then made of the possible role of rule-based technology in process control. It is noted that there are no comprehensive guidelines for the design of rule-based controllers and that such systems are quite difficult to calibrate. The advantage of rule-based systems is that they are generally more robust than their analytic counterparts. Therefore, the rule-based and analytic technologies should be used to complement each other, with rule-based systems being employed both as backups to analytic controllers and as a means of improving the man-machine interface by providing human operators with the rationale for automatic control actions.

Control Chart Recognition Patterns using Fuzzy Rule-Based System

Control Chart Patterns (CCPs) recognition is one the most important concepts in control chart application. Relating the patterns exhibited on the control chart to assignable causes is an ambiguous and vague task especially when multiple patterns co-exist. In this study, a fuzzy rule-based system is developed for X ̅ control charts to prioritize the control chart causes based on the accumulated e...

Entropy Based Fuzzy Rule Weighting for Hierarchical Intrusion Detection

Predicting different behaviors in computer networks is the subject of many data mining researches. Providing a balanced Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that directly addresses the trade-off between the ability to detect new attack types and providing low false detection rate is a fundamental challenge. Many of the proposed methods perform well in one of the two aspects, and concentrate on a su...

Design of a Model Reference Adaptive Controller Using Modified MIT Rule for a Second Order System

Sometimes conventional feedback controllers may not perform well online because of the variation in process dynamics due to nonlinear actuators, changes in environmental conditions and variation in the character of the disturbances. To overcome the above problem, this paper deals with the designing of a controller for a second order system with Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) scheme usi...
