%0 Journal Article %T FPGA Fuzzy Controller Design for Magnetic Ball Levitation %A Hosam Abu Elreesh %A Basil Hamed %J International Journal of Intelligent Systems and Applications %D 2012 %I MECS Publisher %X this paper presents a fuzzy controller design for nonlinear system using FPGA. A magnetic levitation system is considered as a case study and the fuzzy controller is designed to keep a magnetic object suspended in the air counteracting the weight of the object. Fuzzy controller will be implemented using FPGA chip. The design will use a high-level programming language HDL for implementing the fuzzy logic controller using the Xfuzzy tools to implement the fuzzy logic controller into HDL code. This paper, advocates a novel approach to implement the fuzzy logic controller for magnetic ball levitation system by using FPGA. %K Fuzzy Control %K PI %K FPGA %K Magnetic Levitation Ball %K VHDL %U http://www.mecs-press.org/ijisa/ijisa-v4-n10/v4n10-8.html
