Considering the control difficulties of a hydro-viscous soft start(HVSS) device of a belt conveyor,a fuzzy-immune control algorithm was derived.A fuzzy-immune PID controller was designed based on immune feedback regulations and adaptability of the fuzzy logic inference.Using MATLAB software,we simulated the controller and compared the HVSS device with a conventional PID controller and a fuzzy PID controller.The simulation results show that the controller is not only very reliable as a PID controller,robust and requires only a short adjustment time of fuzzy control,but possesses also capacity of global optimization of the immune algorithm.To verify our theoretical analysis and simulation,a HVSS test-bed was developed.The experimental results demonstrate that the fuzzy-immune PID controller managed to start the belt conveyor softly and to follow an S-shaped curve while the output speed correctly followed the preset speed with only small fluctuations in speed.
