[abstFig src='/00280005/15.jpg' width='300' text='Schematic figure of data-oriented GPC-PID controller' ] This paper presents a data-oriented technique for designing a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller based on a generalized predictive control law for linear unknown systems. In several control design approaches, a model-based control theory, which requires accurate modeling and identification of the plant, is used to calculate the control parameters. However, in higher-order systems and/or systems with an unknown time delay such as chemical industries and thermal industries, it is difficult to model or identify the plant accurately. Over the last decade, data-oriented techniques in which the online or offline data are utilized have been attracting considerable attention. Designing the controllers for unknown plants based on only the input/output data is the main feature of this technique. In this study, controller parameters are first obtained by using a generalized predictive control law with the data-oriented technique, and are converted to PID parameters from the practical point of view. The proposed method is validated experimentally using a real injection-molding machine. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

This paper presents development of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) law and its application to reconfigurable control design in the event of actuator saturation. The stability of the GPC control law without reconfiguration is first established using Riccati-based approach and state-space formulation. A novel reconfiguration strategy is developed for the systems which have actuator redundancy and are faced with actuator saturation type failure. An elegant reconfigurable control design is presented with stability proof. A numerical example with application to reconfigurable flight control is presented to demonstrate the results presented in the paper.

The present study constructs a servo–hydraulic system to simulate the filling and packing processes of an injection molding machine. Experiments are performed to evaluate the velocity and position control of the system in the filling stage and the pressure control in the packing stage. The results demonstrate that the proposed system meets the required performance standards when operated with the proportional-integral–derivative (PID) controller under a sampling frequency of 1000 Hz.

The non-linear and time-varying natures of the process together with the large disturbances of several types are the key challenge for the control design. A controller based on multi- resolution decomposition using wavelets is presented in the paper. The wavelet is used to decompose the error signal into signals at different scales.These signals are then used to compensate for the uncertainties in the plant.The controller is similar to proportional integral derivative controller in principle and application. the output from this control system represents the cumulative effect of uncertainties such as measurement noise, frictional variations and external torque disturbances which manifest at different scales. This controller better solves the nonlinear and time-varying togetther with the great disturbance.

There is an increasing interest in using fractional calculus applied to control theory generalizingclassicalcontrol strategies as the PID controller and developing new ones with the intention of taking advantage of characteristics supplied by this mathematical tool for the controller definition. In this work, the fractional generalization of the successful and spread control strategy known as model predictive control is applied to drive autonomously a gasoline-propelled vehicle at low speeds. The vehicle is a Citroën C3 Pluriel that was modified to act over the throttle and brake pedals. Its highly nonlinear dynamics are an excellent test bed for applying beneficial characteristics of fractional predictive formulation to compensate unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances.

One of the advantages of predictive control is its ability to take optimal account of information about future set point changes in the specification of the control law. However, the optimum GPC (generalized predictive control) prefilter that uses this information can lead to a deterioration rather than an improvement in the accuracy of tracking. Some simple modifications to GPC to overcome this problem are discussed. It will then be shown how some simple algorithms can be used to design an optimal prefilter that does not have any of the poor effects arising from the standard choice and hence always improves the performance. The basis of the technique is analogous to the two-degree-of-freedom designs common in the literature on H∞. However, here the emphasis is on fixed-order prefilters designed from a time domain, not a frequency domain, objective.

In the present paper, we discuss a new design method for a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control system using a model predictive approach. The PID compensator is designed based on generalized predictive control (GPC). The PID parameters are adaptively updated such that the control performance is improved because the design parameters of GPC are selected automatically in order to attain a user-specified control performance. In the proposed scheme, the estimated plant parameters are updated only when the prediction error increases. Therefore, the control system is not updated frequently. The control system is updated only when the control performance is sufficiently improved. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated numerically. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a weigh feeder, and experimental results are presented.
