Abstract

Abstract: Direct current (DC) motors are one of the most important kind of motors and are widely used in robotic and industrial applications. Recently, there have been significant efforts to develop direct current (DC) motors in an attempt to control speed of motors. However, conventional controlling approaches perform undesirably in terms of stability and quick response. Therefore, this paper presents a hybrid intelligent controller configuration for optimized speed control of brushless direct current (BLDC) motors in a factory supervisory control data acquisition (SCADA) system. We compare this hybrid intelligent controller with a conventional PID controller, fuzzy logic controller (FLC), and artificial neural network model reference controller (ANNMRC) in MATLAB, and the results show that the hybrid (neuro-fuzzy) controller performs superior in terms of stability, speed trajectory tracking capability, fast response, and simplicity for implementation.
