Rather, the signal path runs from the input converter 12 via a first part of the amplifier and transmission device 10 to the signal conditioning device 16, from there to the calculation device 20, from there as a result signal 26 to a second part of the amplifier and transmission device 10 and from there as an output signal 28 to Output converter 14. In the second part of the amplifier and Transmission device 10 becomes the digital result signal 26 only converted into an analog signal and possibly filtered.
- the expression between IF and THEN is called the premise; the expression to the right of the THEN is called a conclusion designated.
- the sub-expressions in parentheses become corresponding referred to as partial premises and partial conclusions.
- the calculation device 20 serves the structure shown in FIG. 2 only for the conceptual representation of a fuzzy logic calculation, because in actual implementation one arbitrary assignment of the partial functions shown in FIG. 2 to one or more modules of the calculation device 20 can be done.
- Step 1) Fuzzification of the input variables
- Fuzzification determines the value of a membership function of every linguistic term of corresponding linguistic variables in the current Value of the input variable.
- the example set of rules contains two linguistic variables A and B, each with two linguistic terms, namely (A is small), (A is large) and (B is small), (B is large).
- the graphs shown in FIG. 3 represent the membership functions of these terms: ⁇ small (A), ⁇ large (A) and ⁇ small (B), ⁇ large (B).
- Affiliation function is used to determine the degree of fulfillment by reading out the corresponding x value assigned y value from the memory.
- a negated variable occurs in the set of rules, it is Value of the inverse membership function according to the above to determine the specified formula. You can choose at the Calculate the values given in square brackets above be used.
- Step 2) Evaluation of the premises
- the values of the membership functions calculated in step 1) which is the degree of fulfillment of the partial premises (A large), (B is large) and so on, are in the example set of rules used here by linguistic ANDund OR operators on the premises of the individual rules connected.
- the calculation of the AND and OR operations of the partial premises is preferably done by calculating the Minimum or maximum of the corresponding degree of fulfillment, as shown in FIG. 6.
- the result of this Operation is the degree of fulfillment of the respective premise [(A is large) AND (B is large)], [(A is large) OR (B is large)] and so on. This calculation is done for all the rules.
- the first Partial step determines the degree of activation of the partial conclusion. The principle applies that every partial conclusion in is activated to the extent assigned to it in the set of rules Premises are fulfilled.
- the sharp initial value x is calculated as the mean value of the positions of the maxima of f active (X).
- the area over which integration or summation is carried out is preferably limited to the interval between X min and X max ; the interval between the smallest and the largest X value, for which f active (X)> 0 applies. This information arises when the starting terms are accumulated.
- mapping functions the degree of activation of the conclusion is mapped on the one hand to the activated area F n of the starting term, and on the other hand it is centered on a position S n this activated surface imaged. Both mapping rules do not have to be evaluated at runtime of the system, since they are only dependent on the starting terms and the method of converting the degree of activation of the conclusion into the activation of the terms (maximum formation or multiplication) shown in FIG. 8.
- This calculation method implicitly includes accumulation the terms by the method of addition.
- the 12 is a first embodiment of the invention Calculator 20 shown, which described Executes fuzzy logic functions.
- the calculation device 20 has six calculation modules 30, which are connected in series via five buffers 32 are.
- Each calculation module 30 is also one Memory module 34 each assigned a configuration input 36.
- a control module 40 is with all calculation modules 30 and connected to a working memory 42 on which can be accessed externally via a connection 44.
- Each partial function type 50, 52, 54 shown in FIG. 56, 58 and 60 corresponds to one of the calculation modules 30 first calculation module 30 receives the sharp input values as input signal 24; the last calculation module 30 there the calculated sharp result values as result signal 26 out. The transfer of the intermediate results between the calculation modules 30 takes place via the buffer 32.
- each Memory module 34 may also contain configuration information for that executed by the respective calculation module 30 Partial function included. Such configuration information can, for example, in the first calculation module 30 receives the input signal 24, the membership functions of the Be input variables. To configure the fuzzy logic functions of the calculation device 20 are the memory modules 34 writable from the outside via the configuration inputs 36.
- the control module 40 coordinates the overall process and the cooperation of the calculation modules 30. For example the processing time in the individual calculation modules 30 be different. It is the task of the control module 40 then to notify each calculation module 30 if the intermediate results of the previous calculation module 30 for Pending further processing.
- calculation modules 30 and others Components of the computing device 20 in digital Circuit technology results directly in a known manner from the description of the corresponding sub-functions. she can be done by switching networks, switching mechanisms or a combination happen from both. Their exact function can be determined by configuration information be determined.
- Computation modules 30 do not necessarily need six his. There may be more or fewer calculation modules 30 be to calculate the fuzzy logic functions to divide finer or coarser. For example five calculation modules 30 corresponding to those described above Steps 1) to 5) can be used, or only a single one Calculation module 30 'as shown in FIG. 14 is.
- FIG. 13 shows an embodiment variant of the calculation device 20. All buffers shown in Fig. 12 32 and memory modules 34 and the working memory 42 summarized here to the single memory 18. This allows a more rational use of storage space because it is partitioned as desired and according to the individual modules Can be assigned to demand. So information, which are required by different modules, only once are stored in the memory 18.
- the calculation modules 30 (or the calculation module 30 ') access on a preferably hard-wired module for determination the minimum minimum and / or the maximum of two or more Binary numbers. This is advantageous because the formation of the Minimum and maximum two in many fuzzy logic subfunctions occurring basic functions are.

- Völlig freier Verlauf der Zugehörigkeitsfunktion (Fig. 4a); eine Beschränkung ergibt sich - wie auch in den folgenden Klassen - lediglich durch die Quantisierung der Kurven. Jede Zugehörigkeitsfunktion muß - entsprechend der angewandten Quantisierung - in Form ihrer Einzelwerte abgespeichert werden. Dies ist relativ speicheraufwendig. Auch die Weiterverarbeitung ist rechenaufwendig.
- Linearer Verlauf des Funktionswertes zwischen beliebig angebbaren Eckwerten (Fig. 4b und Fig. 5a). Durch diese Einschränkung ergibt sich ein reduzierter Speicher- und Rechenaufwand. Jede Zugehörigkeitsfunktion kann, entsprechend der Anzahl M der Eckwerte, als eine Folge von x-y-Wertepaaren (x1, y1, x2, y2, ..., xM, yM) dargestellt werden.
- Linearer Verlauf des Funktionswertes zwischen maximal vier Eckwerten, als deren Ordinatenwerte nur 0 und 1 zulässig sind. Alle damit möglichen Kurvenverläufe sind in Fig. 4c dargestellt: linke Schulterfunktion 72, Trapezfunktion 70, Dreiecksfunktion 74, rechte Schulterfunktion 76. Diese Einschränkung ergibt eine optimale Reduzierung des Speicheraufwandes. Da maximal vier Eckwerte vorhanden sind und als y-Werte nur 0 und 1 verwendet werden, kann jede in diese Klasse fallende Zugehörigkeitsfunktion allein durch ihre vier x-Werte (x1, x2, x3, x4) eindeutig beschrieben werden. In Fig. 5b ist dies für die Trapezfunktion 70 gezeigt, in Fig. 5c für die linksseitige Schulterfunktion 72 (hierbei gilt x1 = x2), in Fig. 5d für die Dreiecksfunktion 74 (hierbei gilt x2 = x3) und in Fig. 5e für die rechtsseitige Schulterfunktion 76 (hierbei gilt x3 = x4).

- Multiplikation des Verlaufes der Zugehörigkeitsfunktion mit dem Wert des Aktivierungsgrades.
- Bildung des Maximums der die aktivierten Terme umgebenden Funktionsverläufe für jeden Abszissenwert, oder
- Addition der die aktivierten Terme umgebenden Funktionsverläufe für jeden Abszissenwert.
- Bestimmung des Mittelwerts der Maxima (Fig. 10), oder
