Abstract:
A method for managing an electronic system having a central processing unit, a machine, a microprocessor and memory, and at least one measurement sensor, the machine being controlled by the microprocessor according to a fuzzy logic program, the method comprising the steps of:preparing membership functions and recording the membership functions in the memory, the membership functions setting up correspondence between measurement data elements and coefficients of membership of the measurement data elements in measurement brackets; preparing rules and recording the rules in the memory of the microprocessor, for the control of the machine as a function of values of the membership coefficients, reading measurement data elements delivered by the at least one measurement sensor; computing a result of the rules for the measurement data elements read in the step of reading; controlling the machine in accordance with the result of the rules; replacing at least one of the at least one measurement sensor and the machine; and adjusting the electronic system after the step of replacing including the steps of: operating the system between two identified points of operation reading measurement data elements corresponding to the two identified points of operation; providing modifying rules based upon the measurement data elements corresponding to the two identified points of operation; modifying at least one of the membership functions and the rules as a function of the modifying rules; and operating the system with the modified rules.
