ONLINE ADJUSTMENT OF SAMPLING INTERVAL BY FUZZY CONTROLLER

An approach to on-line adjustment of the sampling interval of a fuzzy controller is proposed. If the output of the system is maintained arou nd the set value, the sampling interval of the measurement is extended . On the other hand, if the output is far from the desired value, the interval is shortened automatically. To evaluate the ability of the al gorithm, this method is applied to the control of blood pressure in ra ts. The result shows successful performance of the controller, and the sampling interval is adjusted on-line as expected.
