Abstract. The paper discusses application of THE multiple-valued (three-valued) logic to diagnosing the electro-pneumatic system operation as well as to detecting irregular states in actuating elements. In doing this, the work fluid pressure values are divided into three ranges so that for each range there is one of the logical values of three-valued variable xi??0,1,2?corresponding to it. The respective signal generation is done by means of built-in transducers for translating non-electric values into electric ones. By the combining multiple-valued digital circuit whose input variables xi,  signals are generated on the basis of which the process flow is controlled as well as an irregular device operation is detected.

PRIMENA VIŠEZNAČNE LOGIKE U OTKRIVANJU NEREGULARNIH STANJA KOD ELEKTRO-PNEUMATSKIH SISTEMA
U radu se razmatra primena višeznačne (troznačne) logike za dijagnosticiranje rada elektro-pneumatskih sistema i otkrivanje neregularnih stanja kod izvršnih eleme-nata. Pri tome su vrednosti pritiska radnog fluida podeljene u tri opsega tako da svakom opsegu odgovara jedna od logičkih vrednosti troznačne promenljive xi??0,1,2?. Generi-sa---nje odgovarajućih signala vrši se pomoću ugrađenih pretvarača neelektričnih u električne veličine. Kombinacionim višeznačnim digitalnim kolom čije su ulazne promenljive xi,  generišu se signali na osnovu kojih se kontroliše tok procesa i detektuje neregularan rad uređaja.
