Electro-Pneumatic Drive Control Based on the Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

The paper considers an electro-pneumatic drive to control the gutter--ball mechanical system. A nonlinear mathematical model was compiled for both the control object including a gutter and a ball freely rolling along it, and the pneumatic drive with the proportional control. Several approaches were used to determine the initial differential equations. The resulting model was presented in the MATLAB Simulink in the function blocks form. The system control algorithm was synthesized and described forming the basis to present the fuzzy rules that determined the system inputs and outputs. Besides, a fuzzy logic controller was designed. Issues of forming linguistic variables and the knowledge base for the fuzzy logic controller were considered. Graphs of the transient processes in both the ball and the pneumatic cylinder rod positions were presented, and quality indicators of the ball transient process were determined. It was noted that when using a fuzzy controller, the control was smooth and without overshoot. To create a fuzzy controller, it becomes also necessary to understand the system control principle forming the knowledge base
