Design of a Fuzzy Logic Sliding mode Model Following Controller for a Brushless DC Servomotor Drivers

Problem statement: A brushless DC servomotor position control system using a fuzzy logic sliding mode model following controller or FLSMFC is presented. Approach: The FLSMFC structure consists of an integrator and variable structure system. Results: The integrator ensures the elimination of steady state error due to step and ramp command inputs, while the fuzzy control would maintain the insensitivity to parameter variation and disturbances. The FLSMFC strategy is implemented and applied to a position control of a brushless DC servomotor. Conclusion/Recommendations: Experimental results indicated that FLSMFC system performance with respect to the sensitivity to parameter variations is greatly reduced. Also, its can achieve a rather accurate servo tracking and avoids the chattering phenomenon.
