Fuzzy Logic Control for DC Motors

This document introduces the concept of "fuzzy logic control for DC motors." Fuzzy logic control represents a control methodology based on fuzzy mathematical principles, which demonstrates superior performance when dealing with systems having strong uncertainties or ambiguous characteristics. DC motors, as common electromechanical devices, consist of key components including armature, permanent magnets, and brushes. The integration of fuzzy logic control with DC motor systems combines these two domains, creating an effective approach for regulating motor parameters such as rotational speed and direction control. This combination offers broad application prospects in industrial automation and precision control systems.

From an implementation perspective, fuzzy logic control typically involves three main stages: fuzzification, inference engine processing, and defuzzification. In practical code implementation, developers often create membership functions to quantify input variables like speed error and error rate. The inference engine then applies predefined rule bases using logical operators (AND/OR) to determine appropriate control actions. A typical MATLAB implementation might utilize the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox, where designers can define rules using linguistic variables and simulate system responses before hardware deployment.

Key functions in such implementations include defining input/output ranges, creating membership functions (trimf, gaussmf), establishing rule bases, and tuning defuzzification methods (centroid, bisector). The control algorithm continuously processes real-time sensor feedback to adjust PWM signals or voltage inputs to the DC motor, achieving precise speed regulation even under varying load conditions.
