Lecture5 - FUZZY LOGIC INTERFACES WITH PLC

This document outlines a course module on integrating fuzzy logic interfaces with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It discusses special I/O modules that can preprocess analog and other complex input signals. This includes direct action modules that connect directly to field devices and intelligent modules with on-board microprocessors. The document then focuses on fuzzy logic interfaces, which allow PLCs to implement fuzzy logic algorithms and provide fine-tuned control of nonlinear processes. An example fuzzy logic unit from Omron is presented, which can read inputs from and write outputs to other I/O modules using memory addresses. The unit performs fuzzy logic computations independently and rapidly to provide reasoned control.

INTRODUCTION TO SPECIAL I/O


MODULES
 Special function I/O interfaces provide the link
between programmable controllers and devices that
require special types of signals.
 These special signals, which differ from standard
analog and digital signals, are not very common,
occurring in only 5–10% of PLC applications.
 However, without special interfaces, processors
would not be able to interpret these signals and
implement control programs.

INTRODUCTION TO SPECIAL I/O


MODULES
 Special I/O interfaces can be divided into two
categories:
• direct action interfaces.
• intelligent interfaces.

INTRODUCTION TO SPECIAL I/O


MODULES
 direct action interfaces:
 They are modules that connect directly to input and
output field devices. These modules preprocess input
and output signals and provide this preprocessed
information directly to the PLC’s processor.
 Special direct action I/O interfaces include modules
that preprocess low-level and fast-input signals, which
standard I/O modules can not read.

INTRODUCTION TO SPECIAL I/O


MODULES
 intelligent I/O interfaces :
 Special function intelligent I/O interfaces incorporate
on-board microprocessors to add intelligence to the
interface.
 These intelligent modules can perform complete
processing tasks independent of the PLC’s processor
and program scan.
 The method of allocating various control tasks to
intelligent I/O interfaces is known as distributed I/O
processing.

FUZZY LOGIC INTERFACES


 Fuzzy logic interfaces, which are offered
by a few PLC manufacturers, provide a
way of implementing fuzzy logic
algorithms in PLCs.
 fuzzy logic modules do not function as
actual input and output interfaces.
Rather, they work with other input and
output interfaces, providing an intelligent
link between the two

FUZZY LOGIC INTERFACES


 In essence, fuzzy logic modules allow PLCs to
“reason,” letting them interpret data in an analog-
type form instead of just as ON or OFF.
 A PLC with fuzzy logic capabilities, however, can
discern between the ranges of acceptable and
unacceptable temperatures, judging a
temperature to be either more acceptable or less
acceptable.
 The “reasoning” capabilities of fuzzy modules
allow them to provide fine tuned control of
analog processes, as well as nonlinear and time-
variant processes, like tension and position control.
which often require human intuition and judgment

FUZZY LOGIC ALGORITHMS


 These algorithms are based on user-programmed
rules, which are formed by IF conditions and THEN
actions. A fuzzy module analyzes its inputs
according to the IF conditions and then outputs
control data according to the corresponding
THEN action.
 To provide reasoned control of a field device, a
fuzzy logic module analyzes its rules according to
its graphic function and then assigns each rule a
grade to form what are known as membership
functions. Membership functions classify input
data and group the data into sets of values called
fuzzy sets

FUZZY LOGIC AND I/O INTERACTION


 Next Figure shows Omron Electronics’s Fuzzy Logic
Unit (FLU), a fuzzy logic interface that can read
process data from up to 8 input devices and write
data to up to 4 output devices.
 This interface can perform up to 128 rules, each
with a maximum of eight IF conditions and two
THEN actions.
 The FLU, which works independently of the
processor, can implement all of its fuzzy logic
computations in 6 msec or less, thus providing fast
implementation of fuzzy logic control.

FUZZY LOGIC AND I/O INTERACTION


 Omron’s Fuzzy Logic Unit uses 10 words or
registers of the programmable controller’s data
table to store its control parameters.
 The rack position of the FLU module determines
the registers’ addresses.
 Because fuzzy logic modules work through other
I/O interfaces, their input/ output data must be
transferred from/to the word address locations of
the I/O modules working with them.
 Block transfer instructions can be used to transfer
data between the I/O modules and the fuzzy
module.

 Bit15 the first word (word 110) turns on the fuzzy
processing.
 Inputs: bits 0–3 of word 110 specify the number of
inputs to be read (8 max) (e.g., I = 8)
 Word 111: starting address where input data is
located (length of I) (e.g., address = 120)
 Outputs: bits 0–3 of word 112 specify the number of
outputs to be written (4 max) (e.g., O = 4)
 Word 113: starting address where output data is
located (length of O) (e.g., address = 130)
 Word 114: used for flags and settings
