FPGA Implementation of Variable Feed Rate Algorithm for a Three Input Fuzzy Controller to Maintain the Cane Level

Fuzzy logic which is one of methodology of soft computing has provided to be brilliant choice for the many control system application. Fuzzy logic is practical to numerous fields. One of the uses of fuzzy logic is in sugar mill. It is very important to produce sugar at low cost. Irregular supply of sugar cane decreases the efficiency of cane juice extraction during manufacturing of sugar. To increase the efficiency of cane juice extraction it is necessary to sustain the cane height at desired level inside Donnelly chute. A methodology to develop a variable feed rate algorithm for three inputs fuzzy controller sustains the cane height at desired level and was developed with fuzzy logic tool box of MATLAB software. The developed fuzzy controller can be implemented by using HDL language and Xilinx Vivado 2016.2.
