In this study, the auto-tuning proportional-integral controller is used to control the speed of a switched reluctance motor. The control algorithm is executed by the programmable logic controller. The proportional integral gains are determined via fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is executed on a separate computer via MATLAB/Simulink software. The data exchange between the programmable logic controller and MATLAB/Simulink is done with object linking embedding/component for the process. The fuzzy proportional integral control algorithm is compared with the conventional proportional integral controller. We reduced the load on the programmable logic controller via executing fuzzy logic in a separate computer and at the same time eliminated the disadvantages of the conventional proportional-integral controller. With the proposed method, the engine reached the reference speed value in a short time and the overshoots were eliminated in variable conditions such as different load and different speed conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
