Abstract
Fuzzy logic is the most effective mathematical solution that has been presented in the last
few years to deal with the problems in which imprecise and uncertain data exist. It can be defined
as a generalization of classical binary logic, which admits only two logical states, true or false, by
adding degrees of truth between the extreme values. Its basics were initiated by Lotfi Zadeh in the
mid-1960s. However, in the last few years, a question was raised by different authors: yes, by using a
fuzzy set or membership functions we can solve the problem of some kinds of uncertainties, but what
is the situation in cases where the uncertainties exist in the membership function itself? To handle
this situation, researchers introduce type 2 fuzzy logic. In our paper, we will introduce the design of
a type 2 fuzzy logic controller to control the level in a FESTO process workstation. The mathematical
model is first deduced, and after that the controller is designed. The simulation results show that the
obtained controller gives very good transient characteristics for the system response work.
