Speed Control of DC Motor using Fuzzy Logic Controller by PCI 6221 with MATLAB

Abstract

This thesis demonstrates the importance of Fuzzy Logic Controller. The operation of a DC motor is performed using Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) in MATLAB environment. Fuzzy Logic is one of the most successful 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 proposed fuzzy controller results in a better response compared to the normal response of DC motor. This thesis consists of two parts; software and hardware implementation. The software part aims to design and develop a Fuzzy Logic Controller in MATLAB Simulink. The hardware Part Consist of DC motor Driver and PCI 6221. The DC drive is used to convert AC voltage into variable DC voltage PCI 6221 is used as the hardware interface between Hardware and Software.
