This study deals with one of frequently encountered tasks in process industry – accurate water level control. Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control is often used for this purpose. Since control parameters of PID controller are fixed and tank system is inherently nonlinear, PID controller should not be used on wider level range. Therefore this study analyzes the effectiveness of water l...

After the development of fuzzy logic, an important application of it was developed in control systems and it is known as fuzzy PID controllers. They represent interest in order to be applied in practical applications instead of the linear PID controllers, in the feedback control of a variety of processes, due to their advantages imposed by the non-linear behavior. The design of fuzzy PID contro...

This paper investigates two fuzzy logic PID controllers that use simplified design schemes. Fuzzy logic PD and PI controllers are effective for many control problems but lack the advantages of the fuzzy PID controller. Design methodologies are in their infancy and still somewhat intuitive. Fuzzy controllers use a rule base to describe relationships between the input variables. Implementation of...

Received Mar 23, 2017 Revised Aug 8, 2017 Accepted Aug 23, 2017 The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is the most popular control strategy in the process industry. The popularity can be attributed to its simplicity, better control performance and excellent robustness to uncertainties that is found through the research work on such controllers so far. This paper presents the desi...

We ®rst present a novel general-purpose nonlinear PID controller realized via fuzzy PID control that uses our newly-introduced simpli®ed Takagi±Sugeno (TS) rule scheme. Analytical structure of the fuzzy PID controller is derived and its structure is analyzed in relation to the linear PID controller. The unique features of the fuzzy controller are as follows. First, the proportional, integral an...

Interval type-2 fuzzy logic system; Interval type-2 fuzzy PID controller; Inverted pendulum system; Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation Abstract In this study, we propose an embedded real-time interval type-2 fuzzy proportional – integral – derivative (IT2F-PID) controller which is a parallel combination of the interval type-2 fuzzy proportional – integral (IT2F-PI) controller and the interva...

This paper presents a method for tuning the scaling factors of PID type fuzzy controllers. The method tunes the input scaling factor related to change in error and the output scaling factor related to integral output of PID type of fuzzy controller using model error, error between reference model and process. Fuzzy Controller used is typical fuzzy PID type of controller in which the scaling fac...

Product-sum-type fuzzy controllers are known to have similar characteristics to PD-type controllers. In the case of type-0 control systems, PID-type fuzzy controllers have been proposed in the literature in order to eliminate the steady-state error. However, these control methods, essentially based on conventional PID theory, have no predictive capabilities. The concept of grey system theory, w...

This paper describes a new methodology for the systematic design of fuzzy PID controllers based on theoretical fuzzy analysis and genetic-based optimization. An important feature of the proposed controller is its simple structure. It uses a one-input fuzzy inference with three rules and at most six tuning parameters. A closed-form solution for the control action is defined in terms of the nonli...

A novel tuning method is proposed for the design of fuzzy PID controllers for multivariable systems. In the proposed method, a PID controller is expressed in terms of fuzzy rules, in which the input variables are the error signals and their derivatives, while the output variables are the PID gains. In this manner, the PID gains are adaptive and the fuzzy PID controller has more flexibility and ...
