Creates a linguistic variable for a fuzzy system. You also can use the Variables page of the Fuzzy System Designer to create linguistic variables interactively.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cstr.png name —

    name specifies the name of the linguistic variable.

  • cdbl.png minimum —

    minimum specifies the minimum value of the linguistic variable.

  • cdbl.png maximum —

    maximum specifies the maximum value of the linguistic variable.

  • c1dcclst.png membership functions —

    membership functions specifies the membership functions for the linguistic variable.

  • cstr.png name —

    name specifies the name of the membership function, or linguistic term, you want to modify.

  • cu16.png shape —

    shape specifies the shape of the function that determines the degrees of membership for the linguistic variable.

  • c1ddbl.png points —

    points specifies the values of the linguistic variable corresponding to the base and top points, in order from left to right and base to top, of the membership function. The degree of membership of the linguistic variable within the linguistic term name is 0 at the base points and 1 at the top points. Specify one point for a singleton function, three points for a triangle function, and four points for trapezoid, sigmoid, Gaussian, or user-defined functions.

  • cu32.png color —

    color specifies the color of the membership function when you view the membership function in the Fuzzy System Designer. You can wire a color box constant to this input.

  • ci32.png user-defined shape index —

    user-defined shape index specifies the index of the user-defined shape that determines the degrees of membership for the linguistic variable. This parameter is applicable only if you set shape to User-Defined. Define the user-defined shapes in the user-defined membership function shapes array in both the FL New Fuzzy System VI and the User-Defined instance of the FL Create Membership Function VI.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • icclst.png variable —

    variable returns the linguistic variable with the name, range, and membership functions you specify.

  • istr.png name —

    name specifies the name of the linguistic variable.

  • i1ddbl.png range —

    range specifies the minimum and maximum values of the linguistic variable.

  • i1dcclst.png membership functions —

    membership functions specifies the linguistic terms for the linguistic variable and the degree of membership of the linguistic variable within those linguistic terms. Each element of the membership functions array corresponds to a linguistic term.

  • istr.png name —

    name specifies the name of the membership function, or linguistic term, you want to modify.

  • iu16.png shape —

    shape specifies the shape of the function that determines the degrees of membership for the linguistic variable.

  • i1ddbl.png points —

    points specifies the values of the linguistic variable corresponding to the base and top points, in order from left to right and base to top, of the membership function. The degree of membership of the linguistic variable within the linguistic term name is 0 at the base points and 1 at the top points. Specify one point for a singleton function, three points for a triangle function, and four points for trapezoid, sigmoid, Gaussian, or user-defined functions.

  • iu32.png color —

    color specifies the color of the membership function when you view the membership function in the Fuzzy System Designer. You can wire a color box constant to this input.

  • ii32.png user-defined shape index —

    user-defined shape index specifies the index of the user-defined shape that determines the degrees of membership for the linguistic variable. This parameter is applicable only if you set shape to User-Defined. Define the user-defined shapes in the user-defined membership function shapes array in both the FL New Fuzzy System VI and the User-Defined instance of the FL Create Membership Function VI.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
