Abstract:
Fuzzy control systems have been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical
problems. It has been shown that these controllers may perform better
than conventional controllers, especially when applied to processes difficult to
model, with nonlinearities. On the other hand, the direct current (DC) motor
has been widely used as well because it is one of the most common actuators
used in control systems. The main objective of this research is to control the
speed of DC motor using a combination of the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC)
and the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller. In this study, the
targeted problem is the design of the circuit for control of the DC motor based
on an Arduino unit. The employed tools are Protus and MatLab. The design
and implementation steps will be shown and explained throughout the thesis
and the results are discussed based on the speed of response. It will be shown
that the speed of response and precision are better in terms of performance
than the conventional PID model.
