28.2 COMMERCIAL CONTROLLERS
At the time of writing Allen Bradley did not offer any Fuzzy Logic systems for their PLCs. But, other vendors such as Omron offer commercial controllers. Their controller has 8 inputs and 2 outputs. It will accept up to 128 rules that operate on sets defined with polygons with up to 7 points.
It is also possible to implement a fuzzy logic controller manually, possible in structured text.
Fuzzy logic control control examples
slack adjuster in multi stage rolling press
boiler control - gas air rates with exhaust O2 sensor
prediction of cutting tool failure
mixing ingredients with variable properties, e.g., juice
pultrusion machine control
powder/fiber metering system
speed control for paint/adhesive application
winding/tensioning system
power efficiency controls for greenhouse
