This paper proposed an adaptive fuzzy controller for controlling speed and positions of a container crane. The motor used in container crane is installed as SynRM with variable-speed drive having the robustness on the problems of energy and environment. The conventional PI controller is not able to accurately track the position, speed and sway angle of trolley due to the factors of environment and the parameter variety. In the paper, we analyzed the performance of SynRM derive applied to the container crane by using an adaptive fuzzy control of SynRM in order to solve those problems. This paper analyzed the characteristics of position and speed response and compared the performance of PI controller with an adapative Fuzzy controller, proving the validity.
