The authors of this paper try to analyze the dynamic behavior of the p
roduct-sum crisp type fuzzy controller, revealing that this type of fu
zzy controller behaves approximately like a PD controller that may yie
ld steady-state error for the control system. By relating to the conve
ntional PID control theory, we propose a new fuzzy controller structur
e, namely PID type fuzzy controller which retains the characteristics
similar to the conventional PID controller. In order to improve furthe
r the performance of the fuzzy controller, we work out a method to tun
e the parameters of the PID type fuzzy controller on line, producing a
parameter adaptive fuzzy controller. Simulation experiments are made
to demonstrate the fine performance of these novel fuzzy controller st
ructures.
