The synthesis of a control system includes both the controller selection and the adjustment of its parameters. In some cases, the type of controller might be more complex or more general, like PID instead PI or PD, to improve the control system performance. In all cases, the tuning problem must be satisfactorily solved. On the other hand, Fuzzy Control has made possible the establishment of int...

A proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is the most commonly used controller in controlling industrial loops due to its simple structure, robust nature and easy implementation. Tuning a PID controller is an important task. The conventional methods for tuning a PID controller have certain limitations. These limitations can be taken care by tuning the PID controller using intelligent ...

Fuzzy PID controllers have been developed and applied to many fields for over a period of 30 years. However, there is no systematic method to design membership functions (MFs) for inputs and outputs of a fuzzy system. Then optimizing the MFs is considered as a system identification problem for a nonlinear dynamic system which makes control challenges. This paper presents a novel online method u...

The application of a self-organizing fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (SOF-PID) controller to a multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear revolute-joint robot arm is studied in this paper. The SOF controller is a learning supervisory controller, making small changes to the values of the PID gains while the system is in operation. In effect, the SOF controller replaces an experienced...

An adaptive fuzzy PID controller with gain scheduling is proposed in this paper. The structure of the proposed gain scheduled fuzzy PID (GS FPID) controller consists of both fuzzy PI-like controller and fuzzy PD-like controller. Both of fuzzy PIlike and PD-like controllers are weighted through adaptive gain scheduling, which are also determined by fuzzy logic inference. A modified genetic algor...

The paper describes the Fuzzy–PID cascade controller to control the level of horizontal tank that has diameter 300 mm and 480 mm long. Interface card module PCI-6024E in computer and Lab View software program is used for built the cascade controller. Structure of its where the inner loop is a PID controller for regulating flow rate of system and outer loop is a Fuzzy logic controller for contro...

In this paper, a chattering free sliding mode control (SMC) for a robot manipulator including PID part with a fuzzy tunable gain is designed. The main idea is that the robustness property of SMC and good response characteristics of PID are combined with fuzzy tuning gain approach to achieve more acceptable performance. For this purpose, in the first stage, a PID sliding surface is considered su...

Multivariable liquid level control is essential in process industries to ensure quality of the product and safety of the equipment. However, the significant problems of the control system include excessive time consumption and percentage overshoot, which result from ineffective performance of the tuning methods of the PID controllers used for the system. In this paper, fuzzy logic was used to t...

Objective: A Modified Shuffled Frog Leaping (MSFL) algorithm based Multi-stage Fuzzy (MSF) PID controller is proposed in this paper to solve the Load Frequency Control (LFC) problem in a deregulated environment. The power system LFC problems are caused by small load perturbations which continuously disturb the normal operation of power system. The objectives of LFC are to minimize the transient...

Original scientific paper This paper presents the use of proportional integral (PI), proportional integral derivative (PID) and fuzzy logic (FL) speed controller techniques in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. PI and PID controllers require precise linear mathematical model of the system. On the other hand, FL needs linguistic description of the system. The dynamic response o...
