INTELLIGENT CONTROL SYSTEM OF PULSED MAG WELDING INVERTER BASED ON DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR

A fuzzy logic intelligent control system of pulsed MAG welding inverter based on digital signal processor (DSP) is proposed to obtain the consistency of arc length in pulsed MAG welding. The proposed control system combines the merits of intelligent control with DSP digital control.The fuzzy logic intelligent control system designed is a typical two-input-single-output structure,and regards the error and the change in error of peak arc voltage as two inputs and the background time as single output.The fuzzy logic intelligent control system is realized in a look-up table (LUT) method by using MATLAB based fuzzy logic toolbox,and the implement of LUT method based on DSP is also discussed.The pulsed MAG welding experimental results demonstrate that the developed fuzzy logic intelligent control system based on DSP has strong arc length controlling ability to accomplish the stable pulsed MAG welding process and controls pulsed MAG welding inverter digitally and intelligently.
