Abstract

A D.C. motor's rotational speed is regulated in this study using a PID controller and a fuzzy logic controller. In contrast to the fuzzy logic controller, which uses rules based on knowledge and experience, the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller requires a mathematical system model. This study investigates the regulation of a DC motor's velocity using PID and fuzzy logic controllers. The PID controller utilizes a mathematical model and parameter tuning by trial and error. Still, the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) operates on rule-based knowledge, enabling it to handle the nonlinear features of the DC motor effectively. The FLC design entails intricate determinations, including the establishment of a rule base and the process of fuzzification. A total of 49 fuzzy rules have been devised to achieve precise control. Based on MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations, the study concludes that the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) beats the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. The FLC exhibits superior transient and steady-state responses, shorter response times, reduced steady-state errors, and higher precision. This study emphasizes the efficacy of the FLC (Fuzzy Logic Controller) in dealing with the difficulties associated with DC motor control. It presents a strong argument for the suitability and efficiency of FLCs in industrial environments compared to conventional PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers. There are a wide variety of ways to construct a fuzzy logic controller. The speed error and the rate of change in the speed error are two inputs to the FLC. Defuzzification is done by focusing on the core of the problem. The results show that FLC is superior to PID controllers in efficiency and effectiveness due to its reduced transient and steady-state factors.
