This research discusses the development of a model Fuzzy Proportional, Integral, Derivative (Fuzzy PID) controller models and self-tuning. This method has been implemented in the third-order system of Differential Equations, as a sample implementation of a PID controller. The methods self-tuning known are fuzzy rules, membership function (MF), and scaling factor. The focus of the discussion in this research is to introduce self-tuning to the operating range (OR) setting of MF. Previous research has succeeded in converting a PID controller to a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) which is in accordance with the PID structure. The FLC has three inputs and one output as in the PID controller, hereinafter referred to as Fuzzy PID controller. Knowledgebase on the FLC structure of three inputs one output is expressed in the form of cubic fuzzy associative memory (FAM). The conversion was done by mapping errors, integrals error, derivative errors and outputs of PID controller into the OR of MF Fuzzy input/output. The size of the OR conversion value on the MF fuzzy input was set, so the response transient is set-to-point. While the OR value of the MF fuzzy output was fixed as a limitation. Improved settling time was reached up to 75.3% and percent overshoot was reduced by 57.7% in Fuzzy PID with PID controller. The output signal from the Fuzzy PID controller showed the smallest amplitude of 24.12, while the PID controller was 32.53. The amplitude unit depends on the Fuzzy PID controller parameters when it applied the real plant. The third-order Fuzzy PID controller has been successfully simulated in Simulink/Matlab.
