Abstract: Introduction
This paper presents an insight into the speed control of D.C motor using a fuzzy logic controller to meet the desired speed. Fuzzy logic is one of the most successful
DC motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. DC motor is used in applications where wide speed ranges are required. DC shunt motor exhibits a drooping speed-torque characteristic. The speed of the DC motor is given by

applications of fuzzy set in which the variables are linguistic rather than numeric. A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is based on a set of control rules (fuzzy rules) among linguistic variables. The personal computer provides the necessary flexibility in setting any speed profile with the use of fuzzy packages. Basically a D.C shunt motor has drooping speed-torque characteristics. The proposed fuzzy controller results in a better response compared to the basic fuzzy controller and normal response of D.C motor. The step response parameters can be closely controlled with the help of simple operations within the controller. The

Hence, the speed can be controlled by varying,

By decreasing the flux, the speed can be increased and vice versa. The flux of the DC motor is changed by changing Field current with help of a shunt field rheostat. 2. ARMATURE CONTROL METHOD: This method is used when speeds below base speed are required. As supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the

that range is obtained. A scale factor a is used for changing the location of the singletons which in turn changes the value of the supports. For a lower range of error, the supports are multiplied by a coefficient less than unity (around set point) and for higher ranges, the supports are multiplied by a coefficient greater than unity. The following method is suggested for controlling the time response parameters: Range 1: (100 40). This range is used to effectively control the rise time and to obtain maximum overshoot. If the coefficient of supports is increased, the rise time is decreased and vice versa. Range 2: (40 - 20). The variation of the coefficient during this range will affect the maximum overshoot by about 80% and the variation in each of ranges 1 and 3 will affect by about 10%. Range 3 and 4: (20 5) (5 0). The coefficient of this range has the maximum

CONTROLLER: In most of the adaptive fuzzy controllers, attempt is made to change the Rule Base to make the system adaptive. In the scheme proposed, such a result is achieved by adjusting the defuzzifier as a function of the system response. Also it is possible to regulate the parameters of the time domain response. The block diagram of the system with the proposed FLC is shown in Fig 5. A new functional block called the Error Interpreter is added to the basic system of Fig 2.The function of the block is to sense the error, identify its ranges. And determine the location of the singletons. In this method, the error and error rate are used to change the supporters in the motor voltage singletons. The defuzzified output of controller is given by

NSVC, and NLVC are the corresponding supports of change in the motor voltage singletons. In the new method, the error signal is fed to an interface that changes the value of the supports. The magnitude of output error is divided into ranges covering (100 40),(40 20), (20 - 5), and (5 - 0) percent of the maximum output. Each time the error is sampled the specified range is determined and the location of the singleton corresponding to

effect on the steady state oscillations. If the coefficients are larger, the oscillations will persist for a longer time and thus the setting time will be more.

The steps in designing the controller are: 1. Identify the variables (inputs, states and outputs of the) of the plant. 2. Partition the universe of discourse or the internal spanned by each variable into a number of fuzzy subsets, assigning each a linguistic label. 3. Assign or determine a membership function for each fuzzy subset. 4. Assign the fuzzy relationship between the inputs or states, fuzzy subsets on the one hand and the outputs fuzzy subsets on the other hand, thus forming the rule base. 5. Choose appropriate sealing factors for the input and output variables in order to normalize the variables to the [0, 1] or [-1, 1] interval. 6. Fuzzily the inputs to the controller. 7. Use fuzzy approximate reasoning to infer the output contributed from each rule. 8. Aggregate the fuzzy outputs recommended by each rule.

The personal computer provides the necessary flexibility in setting any speed profile with the use of fuzzy packages. The proposed fuzzy controller gives better response compared to the basic fuzzy controller. The step response parameters can be closely controlled with the help of simple operations within the controller.
