Application of linguistic fuzzy-logic control in technological processes

Abstract

This paper presents the use of modern numerical methods such as Fuzzy Logic Control for control of fast technological processes with sampling period 0.01 [s] or less. The paper presents a real application of the Linguistic Fuzzy-Logic Control, developed at the University of Ostrava for the control of magnetic levitation model in the laboratory at the Institute for Research and Applications of Fuzzy Modeling and Department of Informatics and Computers, Faculty of Science. This technology and real models are also used as a background for problem-oriented teaching realized at the department for master students and their collaborative as well as individual final projects. The paper shows how the used technology can help people easily describe the control strategy from the technological control strategy point of view.
