DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERT CONTROL-SYSTEMS - A PATTERN-CLASSIFICATION AND RECOGNITION APPROACH

In this paper, a pattern classification and recognition approach to expert control systems is developed for use in the on-line analysis and design of dynamic systems. The approach used is based on the tuning of a three-term PID controller and, hence, it is not dependent on a specific form of the process model. A real-time experiment of implementing the developed controller using a microcomputer and associated hardware is presented. A sample set of production rules is discussed. The expert system reaches appropriate tuning parameters, using extracted features, such as oscillatory, underdamped, and exponentially monotonic properties.
