RAIRAN-ANTOLINES, José Danilo; GUERRERO-CIFUENTES, Cindy Estéfany  and  MATEUS-PINEDA, Jaime Alfredo. PID and Fuzzy Controller Design for DC Motor Positioning. Ing. Univ. [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.1, pp.137-160. ISSN 0123-2126.

The performance of PID and fuzzy controllers is compared in a commercial device normally used in model airplanes: the S3004 Futaba Servo. The controller circuit, the power amplifier and the sensor are modified, and then the motor is observed. Next, a root-locus method is used to tune a PID for angular position control. Simulations and control are made in Matlab's Simulink, and also a data acquisition card (PCI 6024E) is used. Results are analyzed at the end of the document: although the PID controller works better, the fuzzy controller shows a similar performance.

Keywords : PID controllers; intelligent control; servomechanisms.
