Performance of Networked DC Motor with Fuzzy Logic Controller

In the recent years the usage of data networks has been increased due to its cost effective and flexible applications. A shared data network can effectively reduce complicated wiring connections, installation and maintenance for connecting a complex control system with various sensors, actuators, and controllers as a networked control system. For the time-sensitive application with networked control system the remote dc motor actuation control has been chosen. Due to time-varying network traffic demands and disturbances, the guarantee of transmitting signals without any delays or data losses plays a vital role for the performances in using networked control systems. This paper proposes Fuzzy Logic Controller methodology in the networked dc motor control and the results are compared with the performance of the system with Ziegler-Nichols Tuned Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller and Fuzzy Modulated Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller. Simulations results are presented to demonstrate the proposed schemes in a closed loop control. The effective results show that the performance of networked control dc motor is improved by using Fuzzy Logic Controller than the other controllers.
