A nonlinear model of a liquid level process is obtained on the analysis of its nonlinear characteristics. Then a practical nonlinear system control strategy of the liquid level process based on single chip computer is presented. By measuring the liquid level and flow rate, two key parameters of the liquid level process, the amplification coefficient and time constant under different load are calculated. Then the control signal is calculated according to the selected control method and the automatic control of the nonlinear system is realized. The test results are given and it shows that the nonlinear control strategy is better then the linear control strategy. The nonlinear control strategy can improve control quality considerably.
