What is BS EN 61131-7 - Programmable controllers - Fuzzy control programming about?
BS EN 61131-7 is the seventh part of the multiple series that defines a language for the programming of Fuzzy Control applications used by programmable controllers.
The object of BS EN 61131-7 is to offer the manufacturers and the users a well-defined common understanding of the basic means to integrate fuzzy control applications in the Programmable Controller languages according to IEC 61131-3, as well as the possibility to exchange portable fuzzy control programs among different programming systems.
Who is BS EN 61131-7 - Programmable controllers - Fuzzy control programming for?
BS EN 61131-7 on programmable controllers is useful for:
- Software programmers/engineers  
- The IT industries 
- Users of programmable controller systems 
- Implementers of programming and debugging tools 
- Programming language implementers 
Why should you use BS EN 61131-7 - Programmable controllers - Fuzzy control programming?
Fuzzy control is based upon practical application knowledge represented by so-called linguistic rule bases, rather than by analytical (either empirical or theoretical) models. Fuzzy control can be used when there is expertise that can be expressed in its formalism.
Fuzzy control is emerging as a technology that can enhance the capabilities of industrial automation and is suitable for control level tasks generally performed in Programmable Controllers (PC). BS EN 61131-7 gives a short introduction to the theory of fuzzy control and fuzzy logic as far as it is necessary for understanding fuzzy control programming. This will make you familiar with the fuzzy control theory.
BS EN 61131-7 benefits you:
- Control (closed or open loop, single or multi-variable, for linear or non-linear systems)
- On-line or off-line setting of control systems’ parameters
- Classification and pattern recognition
- Real-time decision making (send this product to machine a or b)
- Helping you to make decisions or tune parameters
- Detection and diagnosis of faults in systems
