Adaptive Fuzzy PID Designed for Solenoid Valve Test System

Abstract

The performance of solenoid valve is directly related to the security and reliability of industrial system. This paper presents the design of the automatic test platform for solenoid valve. The architecture of the hydraulic subsystem and the control model of providing precise pressure for testing solenoid valve were built up. A self-adaptive fuzzy PID controller, which can dynamically modify the controller’s parameters by using fuzzy rules presented in this paper, was designed with considering the dynamic characteristics of hydraulic system. Simulation results show that the self-adaptive fuzzy PID controller, which compared with conventional PID controller, can obtain better dynamic performance and fast response.
