Abstract :
This paper aims at the development of a technique for incorporating an intelligent adaptive controller based on the self tuning regulator (STR) technology into an existing industrial programmable logic controllers (PLC) for a DC motor. The adaptive controller is based on an intelligent parallel regulator and a parameter optimization technique. The PLC used is an Allen Bradley PLC5 system. The adaptive controller is incorporated in the overall PLC program. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is shown by two simulation studies on the motor under different operating modes
