PARATMETER SET UP METHOD OF MEMBERSHIP FUNCTION FOR FUZZY CONTROL OF WASHING MACHINE MOTOR

The present invention is disclosed to provide a parameter set-up method for a membership function of fuzzy control in a washing machine by which time and manpower necessary for design of a product can be reduced, an accurate design of the product can be made possible and performance of the product can be improved. The method includes the steps of: providing an auxiliary fuzzy logic controller having M parameters in a controller membership function as input and an error between a rotary speed of a washing machine motor and a reference speed as output (first step); classifying the M parameters into N respective sections and generating a fuzzy rule for the auxiliary fuzzy logic controller through N.sup.M experiments (second step); obtaining through the experiments an error between an output curve and a reference curve which is a graph of a sampling time versus a rotary speed of the motor (third step); utilizing the error between the output curve and the reference curve to execute a first genetic algorithm so that the parameters of the auxiliary fuzzy logic controller can be optimized (fourth step); and executing a second genetic algorithm against the parameters of the auxiliary fuzzy logic controller to minimize the error between the output curve and the reference curve output from the auxiliary fuzzy logic controller so that parameters of the fuzzy logic controller can be obtained (fifth step).
