means for sensing at least two continuously defined
state variables of the process;
means for receiving the sensed state variables from
the sensing means;
a memory having a look-up table stored therein at a
plurality of memory locations, the look-up table being a
compilation of values derived from executing a fuzzy
logic rule base for the sensed state variables, such that
each of said plurality of memory locations stores a value
representative of an output derived from an operation of
the fuzzy logic rule base;
means for generating an address for the sensed state
variables to a location in the look-up table of the
memory;
means for reading the look-up table in the memory
location corresponding to the generated address and
outputting the stored value derived from executing the
fuzzy logic rule base therefrom; and
actuating means coupled to the reading means for
receiving the stored value and outputting a control
action to the process in accordance with the stored value
derived from executing the fuzzy logic rule base.
