Driving of a three-phase motor includes controlling the slip of the motor by way of a fuzzy logic algorithm. The simplicity and precision of the fuzzy control of the slip permits dynamically optimizing the efficiency of a three-phase motor under any operating condition, and thereby minimizing power consumption. The control is carried out by knowing: the effective speed of the motor that represents the feedback value, and that may be provided by a common encoder (typically a dynamo or an optic device) keyed on the motor's spindled; the stator frequency imposed on the motor; the required speed; and, of course, the characteristic curve (frequency-torque) of the motor.

Driving of a three-phase motor with fuzzy logic control of the slip

A method for loading the memory of an electronic controller operating using fuzzy logic, whereby predetermined membership functions of logic variables, defined within a universe of discourse sampled in a finite number of points, are subjected to inference operations basically configured as IF/THEN rules with at least one front preposition and at least one rear implication. The controller includes a central control unit provided with a memory section for storing predetermined values of the membership functions which appear in the front or IF part of the fuzzy rules and have a predetermined degree of truth or membership. This method provides for storing the memory section the only values of those membership functions that have a value of the degree of membership other than zero at the points of the universe of discourse.

A method for setting up the memory of an electronic controller operates using fuzzy logic, whereby predetermined membership functions f(m) of logic variables M, defined within a universe of discourse sampled in a finite number of points m, are subjected to inference operations basically configured by IF/THEN rules with at least one front preposition and at least one rear implication. The controller includes a central control unit provided with a memory section for storing predetermined values of the membership functions f(m) which appear in the front or IF part of the fuzzy rules and have a predetermined degree of truth or membership. This method provides for storing into the memory section only the values of those membership functions f(m) which have a value of the degree of membership other than zero at the points m of the universe of discourse.
