Hardware and software effective configurations for multi-input fuzzy logic controllers

摘要

This paper proposes two novel approaches to the simplification of multi-input fuzzy logic controllers (FLC). By these approaches either a hierarchical or a parallel structure is derived for a multi-input FLC, leading to the implementation of faster controllers with reduced memory demand. Both these features can be used profitably in the realization of hardware and software effective FLC for the industrial field applications. Experimental tests and comparative considerations are also included.
