The main target of this paper is to control the speed of DC motor by comparing the actual and the desired speed set point. The DC motor is designed using Fuzzy logic and MPC controllers. The comparison is made between the proposed controllers for the control target speed of the DC motor using square and white noise desired input signals with the help of Matlab/Simulink software. It has been realized that the design based on the fuzzy logic controller track the set pointwith the best steady state and transient system behavior than the design with MPC controller. Finally, the comparative simulation result prove the effectiveness of the DC motor with fuzzy logic controller.

Excerpt from the Book
3.1 Fuzzy Logic Control
Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) or Fuzzy Linguistic Control is a knowledge primarily based control strategy that can be used
• While both a sufficient correct and but no longer unreasonably complicated model of the plant is unavailable, or
• When a (single) specific degree of overall performance isn't significant or realistic.
FLC model design is based totally on empirically received knowledge concerning the operation of the process. This expertise, cast into linguistic, or rule-based form, is the main of the FLC system. The rule base (know-how base) gives nonlinear transformations with none built-in dynamics.
