Abstract
Abstract In a control method for use in a feedback control apparatus having at least one of a proportional component, an integral component, a differential component and the combinations thereof for outputting, in response to a deviation between a given target value and a controlled variable detected in a control object, a first manipulated variable to be supplied to the control object, a check is made to decide whether or not the controlled variable attained from the control object is within a settling range established with the target value set as a center thereof. When the controlled variable is judged to be beyond the settling range, a fuzzy reasoning is achieved in response to the given deviation according to predetermined reasoning rules to produce a second manipulated variable. The second manipulated variable is added to the first manipulated variable to obtain a third manipulated variable, which is then supplied to the control object. When the controlled variable is judged to be within the settling range, the first manipulated variable is supplied to the control object. <IMAGE>

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A feedback control apparatus having at least one of a proportional component, an integral component, a differential component and a combination thereof for outputting, in response to a deviation between a given target value and a controlled variable detected in a control object, a first manipulated variable to be supplied to the control object, said apparatus comprising: fuzzy reasoning means for receiving the deviation, conducting a fuzzy reasoning based on predetermined reasoning rules, and producing a second manipulated variable to be fed to the control object. switching control means for judging whether or not the controlled variable attained from the control object is within a settling range established with the target value set as substantially a center thereof; and output means for adding the first and second manipulated variables to each other to obtain a third manipulated variable and outputting the third manipulated variable to the control object when the controlled variable is judged to be beyond the settling range by said switching control means and for outputting the first manipulated variable to the control object when the controlled variable is judged to be within the settling range by said switching control means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
193 words
A feedback control apparatus having at least one of a proportional component, an integral component, a differential component and a combination thereof for outputting, in response to a deviation between a given target value and a controlled variable detected in a control object, a first manipulated variable to be supplied to the control object, said apparatus comprising: fuzzy reasoning means for receiving the deviation, conducting a fuzzy reasoning based on predetermined reasoning rules, and producing a second manipulated variable to be fed to the control object. switching control means for judging whether or not the controlled variable attained from the control object is within a settling range established with the target value set as substantially a center thereof; and output means for adding the first and second manipulated variables to each other to obtain a third manipulated variable and outputting the third manipulated variable to the control object when the controlled variable is judged to be beyond the settling range by said switching control means and for outputting the first manipulated variable to the control object when the controlled variable is judged to be within the settling range by said switching control means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A feedback control apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein said switching control means decides that the controlled variable is within the settling range when a present constant period of time has elapsed after the controlled variable enters and is retained in said settling range.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
A feedback control apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein said output means outputs the first manipulated variable to the control object without achieving the addition of the second manipulated variable before the controlled variable enters the settling range in a starting stage of the control object.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
174 words
A control method for use in a feedback control apparatus having at least one of a proportional component, an integral component, a differential component and a combination thereof for outputting, in response to a deviation between a given target value and a controlled variable detected in a control subject, a first manipulated variable to be supplied to the control object, said method comprising the steps of: judging whether or not the controlled variable attained from the control object is within a settling range established with the target value set as substantially a center thereof; conducting, when the controlled variable is judged to be beyond the settling range, a fuzzy reasoning in response to the deviation according to predetermined reasoning rules to produce a second manipulated variable, adding the second manipulated variable to the first manipulated variable to obtain a third manipulated variable, and supplying the third manipulated variable to the control object; and delivering the first manipulated variable to the control object when the controlled variable is judged to be within the settling range.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
174 words
A control method for use in a feedback control apparatus having at least one of a proportional component, an integral component, a differential component and a combination thereof for outputting, in response to a deviation between a given target value and a controlled variable detected in a control subject, a first manipulated variable to be supplied to the control object, said method comprising the steps of: judging whether or not the controlled variable attained from the control object is within a settling range established with the target value set as substantially a center thereof; conducting, when the controlled variable is judged to be beyond the settling range, a fuzzy reasoning in response to the deviation according to predetermined reasoning rules to produce a second manipulated variable, adding the second manipulated variable to the first manipulated variable to obtain a third manipulated variable, and supplying the third manipulated variable to the control object; and delivering the first manipulated variable to the control object when the controlled variable is judged to be within the settling range.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
A control method in accordance with claim 4, wherein the controlled variable is judged to be within the settling range when a preset constant period of time has elapsed after the controlled variable enters and is retained within the settling range.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
43 words
A control method in accordance with claim 4, wherein the first manipulated variable is outputted to the control object without being added to the second manipulated variable before the controlled variable enters the settling range in a starting stage of the control object.
