Compound DC motors, prized for their high torque and speed in industrial applications, demand robust control under nonlinear conditions. This study advances the field of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Interface (ANFIS) by comparing a Ziegler-Nichols-tuned Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller with a novel ANFIS-PID controller for a compound DC motor. Unlike prior work, the research focuses on the unique dynamics of compound motors for real-time applications. Using MATLAB Simulink simulations. Performance was assessed via overshoot, rise time, settling time, and steady-state error under no-load and full-load conditions. The PID controller yielded 11.789% overshoot, 1.140s rise time, and 2.251s settling time, while the ANFIS-PID achieved 6.989% overshoot, 0.951s rise time, and 1.962s settling time, with a 50% lower steady-state error. These results, validated across 10 runs (p < 0.05), highlight the ANFIS-PID’s superior adaptability to the motor’s series-shunt dynamics, offering a 40.7% overshoot reduction.
