Distributed Control System Applied in Temperatur Control by Coordinating Mult...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In Distributed Control System (DCS), multitasking management has been important issues
continuously researched and developed. In this paper, DCS was applied in global temperature control
system by coordinating three Local Control Units (LCUs). To design LCU’s controller parameters, both
analytical and experimental method were employed. In analytical method, the plants were firstly identified
to get their transfer functions which were then used to derive control parameters based on desired
response qualities. The experimental method (Ziegler-Nichols) was also applied due to practicable reason
in real industrial plant (less mathematical analysis). To manage set-points distributed to all LCUs, master
controller was subsequently designed based on zone of both error and set-point of global temperature
controller. Confirmation experiments showed that when using control parameters from analytical method,
the global temperature response could successfully follow the distributed set-points with 0% overshoot,
193.92 second rise time, and 266.88 second settling time. While using control parameters from
experimental method, it could also follow the distributed set-points with presence of overshoot (16.9%), but
has less rise time and settling time (111.36 and 138.72 second). In this research, the overshoot could be
successfully decreased from 16.9 to 9.39 % by changing master control rule. This proposed method can
be potentially applied in real industrial plant due to its simplicity in master control algorithm and presence
of PID controller which has been generally included in today industrial equipments.

This document summarizes an automatic liquid level and temperature monitoring/controlling system using LabVIEW and Arduino. The system uses a temperature sensor and ultrasonic sensor to monitor liquid temperature and level in a tank. It then implements proportional control to adjust a fan, heater and pump to maintain the temperature and liquid level between set points. The LabVIEW interface allows setting temperature and level set points. When levels/temperatures exceed the points, the Arduino activates components accordingly to regulate the variables and provide automated control of the liquid system.
This document summarizes an experiment that used a Ziegler-Nichols tuning method to control the pH of a buffered solution with a PID controller. A titration curve determined the buffer region of 6.25-8.35 pH. Different controller types (P, PI, PID) were tested by manually adjusting parameters. For the PI controller, sustained oscillations determined an ultimate period of 21 seconds. Using Ziegler-Nichols relations, PID parameters were calculated as proportional band of 1%, reset time of 12 seconds, and derivative time of 3 seconds. These optimized PID settings produced the fastest rise time and least steady state offset.

Comparative Analysis of Pso-Pid and Hu-PidIJERA Editor
PID control is an important ingredient of a distributed control system. The controllers are also embedded in many special purpose control systems. PID control is often combined with logic, sequential functions, selectors, and simple function blocks to build the complicated automation systems used for energy production, transportation, and manufacturing. Many sophisticated control strategies, such as model predictive control, are also organized hierarchically. PID control is used at the lowest level; the multivariable controller gives the set points to the controllers at the lower level. The PID controller can thus be said to be the “bread and butter‟ of power system engineering. It is an important component in every control engineer‟s tool box. PID controllers have survived many changes in technology, from mechanics and pneumatics to microprocessors via electronic tubes, transistors, integrated circuits. The microprocessor has had a dramatic influence on the PID controller

An educational fuzzy temperature control system IJECEIAES
Control engineering is one of the important engineering topics taught at many engineering based universities around the world in most undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The control engineering curriculum includes both the classical feedback based control theory and the state space theory. The modern control theory is based on the intelligent control algorithms utilizing the soft computing techniques, such as the fuzzy control theory and neural networks. Laboratory work is an important part of any control engineering course. The problem with the modern control theory laboratories is that it is essential to offer simple experiments to students so that they can easily put the complex theories they have learned in their courses into practice and see and understand the results. This paper describes the design of a low-cost fuzzy based microcontroller temperature control system using off the shelf products. The developed system should provide a low-cost fuzzy control experiment in the laboratories for students studying control engineering.

This document summarizes research assessing the performance of control loops using a minimum variance control algorithm (FCOR) and comparing it to an existing algorithm (PINDEX). The researchers implemented both algorithms in MATLAB to analyze simulated process data from MATLAB/Simulink models with and without valve stiction. They also analyzed process data from an Aspen HYSIS simulation of a distillation column. Across all the simulations and models, the FCOR and PINDEX algorithms produced generally similar results, indicating the control loops were performing poorly in cases where the performance index values were close to 0. The research thus validated that the developed FCOR algorithm worked effectively to evaluate control loop performance based on minimum variance.

Comparison of different controller strategies for Temperature controlIRJET Journal
This document compares different controller strategies (feedback, feedback with feedforward, and internal model control) for controlling temperature in a heat exchanger system. It describes a heat exchanger system with cold water input and temperature sensor output. The strategies are assessed based on transient response criteria like overshoot and settling time, and error-based criteria like integral of absolute and square errors. The study finds that internal model control outperforms the other strategies for a second-order plus dead time system.
Process control examples and applications Amr Seif
Process control involves maintaining the output of a process within a desired range through mechanisms and algorithms. For example, controlling the temperature of a chemical reactor to maintain consistent product output. There are different types of process control including regulatory control to maintain performance at a certain level, feedforward control which anticipates disturbances to compensate before they affect the process, and adaptive control where the controller modifies its own parameters based on dynamic process conditions. Discrete control systems make event-driven or time-driven changes to processes.

A software based gain scheduling of pid controllerijics
In this paper, a scheduled-gain SG-PID controller using LabVIEW-based scheduling technique, which
consists of a set of virtual instruments, has been designed and experimentally tested for heating process.
Gain scheduling is realized by automatic setting of the controller parameters using three sets of
programmed parameters, depending on the relative error between actual process temperature and setpoint
(desired temperature). Experimental results show that the proposed controller, compared with conventional
C-PID controller, responds faster to the changes in the setpoint temperature, reduces the overshoots in
temperature during transient period and makes the system more stable. It was noticed that the dynamic and
steady-state errors in the system have been reduced.
—Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) here is
considered as a nonlinear process. The CSTR is widely used in
many chemical plants. Due to changes in process parameters the
accuracy of final product can be reduced. In order to get accurate
final product the faults developed in CSTR during the chemical
reaction need to be diagnosed. If not, the faults may lead to
degrade the performance of the system. For this purpose there
are various fault diagnosis methods are to be considered. Among
the methods, the neural network predictive controller can be used
to detect faults in CSTR. Servo response is performed to
understand the behavior of CSTR. By detecting various faults
and with suitable control techniques, the accuracy of the
desirable products in CSTR can be improved
Fuzzy controlled mine drainage system based on embedded systemIRJET Journal
This document proposes a fuzzy logic controlled mine drainage system based on an embedded system. Mines require proper drainage to improve stability, safety, and prevent equipment corrosion, but the variables involved like water levels and flow rates are unpredictable and non-linear, making an accurate empirical model difficult to design. The proposed system combines fuzzy logic control with an embedded system. Fuzzy logic handles the uncertainties while the embedded system provides better control, flexibility, compactness and user-friendliness. Sensors monitor water levels, flow rates, temperature, humidity and pressure, sending data to an operator. A fuzzy logic controller uses the sensor data and fuzzy rules to determine the number of pumps to operate, providing improved drainage control over traditional methods.

This document summarizes the results of a geophysical investigation using vertical electrical sounding (VES) methods at 13 locations around an industrial area in India. The VES data was interpreted to generate geo-electric sections and pseudo-sections showing subsurface resistivity variations. Three main layers were typically identified - a high resistivity topsoil, a weathered middle layer, and a basement rock. Pseudo-sections revealed relatively more weathered areas in the northwest and southwest. Resistivity sections helped identify zones of possible high groundwater potential based on low resistivity anomalies sandwiched between more resistive layers. The study concluded the electrical resistivity method was useful for understanding subsurface geology and identifying areas prospective for groundwater exploration.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Abstract
This project aims at designing and implementing a fuzzy controller for Multiple Input Single Output temperature process.
Temperature control of water in the tank is achieved by varying current to the heating rod and inlet flow rate by a fuzzy controller.
The system consists of a tank, reservoir, variable speed pump, temperature sensor placed inside a heating tank containing the heating
rod, voltage controlled current source and computer. Water is pumped into the tank from reservoir and RTD measures the current
temperature. The signal from the temperature sensor is sent to the DAQ interfaced to the computer. LabVIEW software is used to
acquire the input signal and send the output signal that is determined by the control algorithm. Fuzzy logic controller is designed in
LabVIEW. Based on the set point temperature, the controller sets the appropriate current to the heating rod. If the required
temperature is less than that sensed by the temperature sensor, the flow rate of water into the tank is controlled by a variable speed
pump. While conventional controllers are analytically described by a set of equations, the FLC is described by a knowledge-based
algorithm. Thus this system is highly efficient in both heating and reducing the temperature of the tank. A fuzzy logic controller gives
faster response, is more reliable and recovers quickly from system upsets. It also works well to uncertainties in the process variables
and it does not require mathematical modelling.

1. INTRODUCTION
Temperature Control
Process control system is made up of a group of electronic
devices and equipments that provides stability, accuracy and
eliminates harmful transition statuses in production process.
Process control is extensively used in industry and enables
mass production of continuous processes.
Temperature control of water is a process in which change of
temperature is measured and the passage of heat energy into or
out of it is adjusted to achieve a desired temperature. It is the
basic requirement in domestic as well as industrial applications
as it provides a critical condition for combustion, chemical
reaction, fermentation, drying, calcinations, distillation etc.
Poor temperature control can cause major safety, quality and
productivity problems.
At the beginning of the industrial revolution, especially during
60‟s and 70‟s relays were used to operate automatic machines
and they were interconnected using wires inside control panel,
hence the control became complex. Programmable logic
controller is an industrial computer used for automation of
processes. To discover an error in the system much time was
required especially with more complex process control system.
These panels proved to be inflexible and needs for reliable and
rigid controller enhanced rapidly thereby resulting in the
invention of new technologies and softwares.
2. CONTROLLER
To accurately control process temperature without extensive
operator involvement, a temperature control system relies upon
a controller, which accepts input from temperature sensors such
as a thermocouple or RTD. It compares the actual temperature
to the desired control temperature, or set point, and provides an
output to a control element.
The following items should be considered when selecting a
controller:
Type of input sensor (thermocouple, RTD) and
temperature range
Type of output required (electromechanical relay,
SSR, analog output)
Control algorithm needed (on/off, proportional, PID)
Number and type of outputs (heat, cool, alarm, limit)
Once the model for a process has been developed,
then there is a need for control action to maintain the
process under steady state.
3. DRAWBACKS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing system needs the employment of instrumentation
engineers to monitor and control the various processes. The
existing system does not show the real time simulation; thereby
having the text based programming complexity and also having
difficulty in identifying the errors and rectifying it. The use of
the LabVIEW software helps in overcoming these problems

and makes the processes done in a simpler and easier manner.
In a general temperature control process, cooling process takes
time i.e., the heater power is decreased or is turned off in order
to achieve decrease in water temperature.
4. NEED FOR THE PROJECT
The need for today‟s industry is a real time monitoring and
control of the various parameters in a simpler manner with easy
identification and rectification of errors. As the existing
system‟s cooling process is time consuming, a need to speed up
the cooling process arises.
5. PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this project, temperature monitoring and control of water in
the tank is established with the help of fuzzy controller
designed in LabVIEW software. This implementation attempts
to correct the error between the measured temperature and the
desired set point thus achieving efficient temperature control.
6. METHODOLOGY
Temperature control of water is a process in which change of
temperature of water is measured or otherwise detected, and the
passage of heat energy into or out of the water is adjusted to
achieve the desired temperature. The fuzzy controller uses
defined rules to control a fuzzy system based on the current
values of input variables, temperature error and error rate.
Triangular form of membership function is used here. It
involves the use of LabVIEW software which has enhanced
features employed in this method for continuously monitoring
the process even when the process variable reaches the set
point. The parameters adjust themselves to the conditions of the
process automatically as the process variable changes and
thereby the output is attained.
Fuzzy Logic
The MISO temperature control system is designed and
implemented using fuzzy controller that is programmed in
LabVIEW. Fuzzy logic is a method of rule-based decision
making used for process control.
Implementation Of Fuzzy Logic
Fuzzy system consists of three main parts: linguistic variables,
membership functions and rules. The basic steps in designing
fuzzy logic control is as follows:
Identifying the input and output variables.
Partitioning the interval of each input and output into
number of fuzzy subsets, assigning each a linguistic
label.
Determining a membership function for each fuzzy
subset.
Assigning the fuzzy relationship between the “input
fuzzy subsets” on one hand and the “output fuzzy
subsets” on the other hand, thus forming the Rule-
Base.
Interpreting the rules using fuzzy “AND” and “OR”,
operators. In fuzzy systems, more than one rule may
fire at the same time, but with varied strengths.
Translating the processed fuzzy data into the crisp data
suitable for real time applications.
7. CLOSED LOOP TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The system parameter which is the process variable that needs
to be controlled is temperature (ºC) . Continuous outflow of
water from the tank acts as a disturbance to the process. A
sensor is used to measure the process variable and provide
feedback to the control system. The set point is the desired or
reference value for the process variable. At any given moment,
the difference between the process variable and set point is
used by the control system algorithm ( compensator ), to
determine the desired actuator output to drive the system
(plant). For instance, if the measured temperature process
variable is 40 ºC and desired temperature set point is 50 ºC,
then the actuator output specified by the control algorithm is to
drive a heater.
Actuator signal to drive a heater causes the system to become
warmer which results in an increase in the temperature process
variable whereas the actuator signal to drive the pump causes
the system to reduce temperature more efficiently. This is
called a closed loop control system, because the process of
reading sensors to provide constant feedback and calculating
the desired actuator output is repeated continuously and at a
fixed loop rate.
Fig1: closed loop control
Control Configuration
A control configuration is the information structure that is used
to connect the available measurements to the available
manipulated variables. Depending on the number of controlled
output and manipulated input we have in a chemical process,we
can distinguish the control configurations as :
(i)Single input single output(SISO)
(ii)Multiple input multiple output(MIMO)
(iii)Multiple input single output(MISO)
(iv)Single input multiple output(SIMO) control systems.

8. MULTIPLE INPUT SINGLE OUTPUT PROCESS
If there is only one control variable and more than one
manipulated variable the control configuration is called
multiple input single output (MISO) system. For example, the
temperature of the reactor feed (a disturbance) can be
measured, and the coolant flow rate can be manipulated. Both
of these affect the reactor temperature.
Process Setup
The process setup consists of a single tank filled with water and
a heater is being incorporated in order to supply heat. Initially
inflow and outflow of water is set at a constant flow rate. A
Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) is used to measure the
temperature of the setup. This signal is conditioned and then
fed to the analog input module of the DAQ, which in turn sends
the signal to LabVIEW. The RTD gives the output in ohms and
by signal conditioning it, output is received in volts (0-5V).
The LabVIEW compares this signal with the set point and
generates a digital signal which is fed to the analog output
module of the DAQ. The output from this module is given to
the heater control unit and the pump through SCR and SSR
.The purpose of the proportional SSR and SCR is to vary the
current through the heater and the pump respectively.
The schematic diagram of the process setup is shown in Fig.2
Fig2:schematic diagram of process setup
9. TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Resistance temperature detectors are used to measure
temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD element
with temperature. The RTD element is made from a pure
material whose resistance at various temperatures has been
documented. The material has a predictable change in
resistance as the temperature changes and it is this predictable
change that is used to determine temperature. The material used
here is Platinum.
A platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) Pt100 is a
device with a typical resistance of 100 Ω at 0°C (it is
called Pt100). It changes resistance value as its temperature
changes following a positive slope (resistance increases when
temperature is increasing).
While thermocouples use the Seebeck effect to generate a
voltage, resistance thermometers use electrical resistance and
require a power source to operate. The resistance ideally
varies linearly with temperature.
For a PT100 sensor, a 1 °C temperature change will cause a
0.384 ohm change in resistance. RTD output for the
corresponding temperature has been tabulated in Table 4.2
Table1: RTD output for corresponding temperature
TEMPERATURE RTD OUTPUT (Ω)
0 100
20 107.79
40 115.54
50 119.40
60 123.24
So even a small error in measurement of the resistance (for
example, the resistance of the wires leading to the sensor) can
cause a large error in the measurement of the temperature. For
precision work, sensors have four wires- two to carry the sense
current, and two to measure the voltage across the sensor
element. The linear characteristics of RTD is shown in the
Figure3
Fig3: characteristics of RTD
10. RTD SIGNAL CONDITIONING CIRCUIT
Signal conditioning means manipulating an analog signal such
that it measures the requirements of next stage for further
processing. For example, the output of an electronic
temperature sensor ,which is probably too low for an Analog-
to-Digital converter (ADC) to process directly. In this case the
signal conditioning amplification is necessary to bring the
voltage level up to that required by a ADC. More generally, the
signal conditioning can include amplification, ,converting and
any other process required to make sensor output suitable for
conversion to digital format.

11. FUZZY SYSTEM
A fuzzy system is a system of variables that are associated
using fuzzy logic. A fuzzy controller uses defined rules to
control a fuzzy system based on the current values of input
variables. Fuzzy system consists of three main parts: linguistic
variables, membership functions and rules.
Linguistic Variables And Terms
Linguistic variables represent, in words, the input variables
and output variables of the system to be controlled. Linguistic
variables usually have an odd number of linguistic terms, with a
middle linguistic term and symmetric linguistic terms at each
extreme. Each linguistic variable has a range of expected
values. The linguistic variables current temperature and desired
temperature each might include the linguistic terms cold,
moderate, and hot. The linguistic variable heater setting might
include the linguistic terms off, low, and high.
Membership Functions
Membership functions are numerical functions corresponding
to linguisticterms. A membership function represents the degree
of membership of linguistic variables within their linguistic
terms. The degree of membership is continuous between 0 and
1, where 0 is equal to 0% membership and 1 is equal to 100%
membership. There are several types of membership functions
available, namely, Λ-type (triangular shape), Π-type
(trapezoidal shape), singleton-type (vertical line shape),
Sigmoid-type (wave shape), and Gaussian-type (bell shape)
membership functions. The various membership functions are
shown in Fig5.
Fig5: various membership functions
Fuzzy Inputs and Output
In our project there are two inputs and based on the
combination of these inputs, the output is obtained. Each of
these inputs has seven subsets.
Input 1: Temperature Error
Input 2: Temperature Error Rate
Output : Fuzzy output to Heating rod or Pump

Fig8: membership function for fuzzy output
The Rule Base Table
Rules describe, in words, the relationships between input and
output linguistic variables based on their linguistic terms The
total number N of possible rules for a fuzzy system is defined
by the following equation:
N = p1 × p2 × … × pn
where pn is the number of linguistic terms for the input
linguistic variable n. If each input linguistic variable has the
same number of linguistic terms, the total number N of possible
rules is defined by the following equation:
N = p^m
where p is the number of linguistic terms for each input
linguistic variable and m is the number of input linguistic
variables.Plotting a rule base in matrix form,is helpful for
detecting inconsistencies, such as contradictory rules.
However, plotting a rule base in matrix form is efficient only
for small rule bases. Detecting inconsistencies in large rule
bases is difficult. For fuzzy systems with numerous controller
inputs, you can use cascading fuzzy systems to avoid large rule
bases. The rule base table is shown below:

12. DEVELOPING FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER
Fuzzy controllers are used to control fuzzy systems. Most
traditional control algorithms require a mathematical model of
the system you want to control. However, many physical
systems are difficult or impossible to model mathematically. In
addition, many processes are either nonlinear or too complex
for you to control with traditional strategies. However, if you
can describe a control strategy qualitatively, you can use fuzzy
logic to create a fuzzy controller that emulates a heuristic rule-
of-thumb strategy. After a fuzzy controller fuzzifies the input
values of a fuzzy system,the fuzzy controller uses the
corresponding input linguistic terms and rule base to determine
the resulting linguistic terms of the output linguistic variables.
The block diagram of a fuzzy controller has been shown in Fig
5.2.
Fig9: fuzzy logic block diagram
The objective of the fuzzy controller in our project is to
estimate the amount of current supplied to the heating rod and

the inlet flow rate to achieve the desired water temperature. The
basic steps in designing a fuzzy logic controller are as follows:
1. Identifying the input and
output variables.
2.Partitioning the interval of
each input and output into
number of fuzzy subsets,
assigning each a linguistic label.
3.Determining a membership
function for each fuzzy subset.
4.Assigning the fuzzy relationship between the “input fuzzy
subsets” on one hand and the “output fuzzy sets on the other
hand,thus forming the Rule-Base.
5.Interpreting the rules using fuzzy “AND” and “OR”
operators. In fuzzy systems, more than one rule may fire at the
same time ,but with varied strengths.
6.Translating the processed fuzzy data into the crisp data
suitable for real world applications.
13. FUZZIFICATION
Fuzzification is the process of associating crisp, or numerical,
input values with the linguistic terms of the corresponding input
linguistic variables. For example, a fuzzy controller might
associate the temperature reading from a thermometer with the
linguistic terms cold, moderate, and hot for the current
temperature linguistic variable. Depending on the membership
functions for the linguistic terms, the temperature value might
correspond to one or more of the linguistic terms.
14. DEFUZZIFICATION
Defuzzification is the process of converting the degrees of
membership of output linguistic variables within their linguistic
terms into crisp numerical values. A fuzzy controller can use
one of several mathematical methods to perform
defuzzification. . The most accurate defuzzification method for
a fuzzy controller varies based on the control application.
. Some of the popular methods are:
1) Max membership principle
2) Centroid method
3) Weighted average method
4) Mean-max membership
The Centroid Method
The „Centroid method‟ is the most prevelant of all
defuzzification methods and hence it has been used. In the
Centroid or Center of Area (CoA) defuzzification method, also
called the Center of Gravity (CoG) method, the fuzzy controller
first calculates the area under the scaled membership functions
and within the range of the output variable. The fuzzy logic
controller then uses the following equation to calculate the
geometric center of this area.,
where CoA is the center of area, x is the value of the linguistic
variable, and xmin and xmax represent the range of the
linguistic variable.The Center of Area defuzzification method
effectively calculates the best compromise between multiple
output linguistic terms.
An important aspect of a defuzzification method is the
continuity of the output signal. Consider a fuzzy system with a
complete rule base and overlapping membership functions. A
defuzzification method is continuous if an arbitrary small
change of an input value never causes an abrupt change in the
output signal. In this respect, the centroid defuzzification
method is most suitable, because, assuming overlapping output
membership functions, the best compromise does not jump to a
different value with a small change to the inputs.
15. TEST SYSTEM
Fig 10: test system window
The final step in designing fuzzy controller is using the test
system to check the accuracy of the defuzzified value. The test
system of the LabVIEW is used to test the relationship between
the input and output values of a fuzzy system in order to
validate the rule base of the fuzzy system. In the test system the
values of the input variables are entered manually. The
controller then calculates the corresponding weights of the
inputs. Based on the antecedent connective and consequent
implication the weight of the output is found out. The test
system also displays the rules invoked. The test system gives an
option to select the plot variables. Based on these selections the
input/output relationship is mapped. If needed the input and
output variables can be altered to achieve accuracy. Finally
once the output has been obtained the controller is saved. This
file is loaded into the program for processing of the input and
obtaining the output

and the desired set point thus achieving efficient temperature
control. The need for today‟s industry is a real time monitoring
and control of the various parameters in a simpler manner with
easy identification and rectification of errors.As the existing
