Development and Application of an Integrated MPC Technology

Programmable logic controller implementation of an auto-tuned predictive control based on minimal plant information

“…Many identification techniques, like that of [4], rely on intensive plant tests, and moreover, in this approach, the resulting model is a transfer function matrix which is arguably more cumbersome than space-state models for MPC. However, some of the most common schemes in industry utilise input-output models obtained from step responses; the approach presented here follows the same thinking in that it utilises simple open-loop information, but from that derives a compact model.…”

“…In this context, the work on small MPC by [1] deserves to be mentioned; however, with the perhaps notable exception of predictive functional control (PFC) [2], there has been relatively little penetration into markets where PID strategies dominate, and this despite the fact that MPC still has a lot to offer in the SISO domain because of its enhanced constraint-handling abilities and the controller format being more flexible than the PID format. The major obstacles are (i) the cost ✩ A preliminary version of this paper was presented at the International Some authors have improved the user-friendliness (complexity) of MPC software packages available for high-level control purposes [3,4].

Research on the Electronic System Design of the Automobile Based on PLC and MPC

“…The major obstacles are (i) the cost of implementation; (ii) the complexity of the optimisation solvers; and (iii)the algorithm not being available in the off-the-shelf hardware most likely used for local loop control. Some authors have improved the user-friendliness (complexity) of MPC software packages available for high-level control purposes [3,4]. Nevertheless, these developments have the same implementation drawback in that the development platform is a stand-alone computer running under Windows OS.…”

Design and implementation of an MPC system with model error detection

“…However, well-knowing of the system identification and MPC theory is still necessary for technicians to running these software. Batch-wise adapting MPC system, which is developed to carry out adaptive model predictive control, integrates online identification and control, and the skill requirement for the technicians who use it is greatly reduced [4]- [5]. This system has been widely used in the industrial control field.…”
