The input value link of the output Takagi-Sugeno variable can be
connected to components providing a crisp value, such as:
• Input Port component.
• Output Linguistic Variable component.
• PID component.
• Output Takagi-Sugeno Variable component.
The output value link of the output Takagi-Sugeno variable can be
connected to components expecting a crisp value, such as:
• Output Port component.
• Input Linguistic Variable component.
• Output Takagi-Sugeno Variable component (only crisp values
are considered).
• PID component (only crisp values are considered).
The output logical link of the output Takagi-Sugeno variable can be
connected to components expecting a DOF value (as result of
fuzzification or defuzzification), such as the Rule Block component.
Parameters
• Name of the component
• Range of the input value of the component [y
min
, y
max
]
• List of functional terms described by
– The name
– The type of the function
– The vector of the function parameters [a
0
, a
1
, … , a
n
] for the
linear function, [a
0
] for the constant function
• Default value
Intermediate Linguistic
Variable
The fuzzy system Intermediate Linguistic Variable component is used
as a buffer allowing logical chaining of rule blocks.
The component consists of linguistic terms with symbolic meaning.
Each linguistic term is defined by its name. Degrees of fulfillment of
all terms are results of previous logic inference in preceding rule
blocks connected to this component.
