The classical control theory which relies on the mathematical model of the underlying system has been successfully applied to the control of a large variety of simple, non-linear processes. However, it has not been as widely used with complicated, non-linear, time varying systems or with processes suffering from noisy measurements. The main idea of fuzzy control is to build a model of an expert operator who is capable of controlling the plant without thinking in terms of a mathematical model. This paper describes the application of fuzzy control to a feedback system within an EPICS environment. Comparison of the application of a modern controller and a fuzzy controller to an inverted pendulum problem is presented.
