Abstract

High performance position control can be obtained with dc servomotors and actuators by using efficient control strategies. For precise control of position, the control strategy employed should result in fast control of the output, with minimum overshoot and least steady state error. The advancement of control theory over the last 30 years resulted in a huge choice of control schemes, given a plant or a system to be controlled. Despite this, traditional PID (proportional integral and derivative) control scheme is the popular choice for implementation in industrial environment, as this scheme is simple and easy to implement and its design does not require an exact knowledge of the controlled plant dynamics. Fuzzy logic is recently finding wide popularity in various appl
