The aim of this paper is to obtain the mathematical model and the real time model of the Single Input Single Output (SISO) conical tank system. The experimental model is obtained from the open loop response in real time and the transfer function is obtained using the two point method. For the real time model, two different controllers namely Zeigler Nichols tuned PI controller and passivity based controller are designed and tested in simulation and the performance of both the controllers are tested for servo operation and regulatory operation. The designed controllers are tested in Simulation and the response is recorded. The simulation results shows that the Passivity based Controller works better for the spherical tank process.

In this paper, an inverse control scheme based on the novel dynamic network (multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN)) is proposed for the real-time tracking control of nonlinear time-varying systems with noise disturbances. Utilized in this scheme are the three MTNs: the adaptive model identifier for system modeling, the adaptive inverse controller for inverse modeling, and the adaptive nonlinear filter for eliminating the noise disturbances, whose weights are modified by the variable forgetting factor recursive least squares (VFF-RLS), back propagation through model (BPTM), normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithms, respectively. To avoid “compromise”, this scheme is designed into a structure wherein controlling the object dynamic response and eliminating the noise disturbances are implemented in two relatively independent processes. Furthermore, the weight-elimination algorithm is introduced for choice of effective regression items to avoid the dimension explosion, thus overcoming the shortcoming that the number of middle nodes needs to be determined before using the traditional neural network. After a certain number of training, the more streamlined MTNs are observed to contribute to satisfying the real-time requirements of software implementation and engineering application. To ensure that MTN inverse control is strict in theory, the general conditions for the existence of single-input/single-output (SISO) nonlinear inverse systems are identified. Simulation of the MTN inverse control is conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This article presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm based on integral action. Level control in process industry is challenging because of nonlinearity presents in the shape of the tank, actuators etc. The conical tank system is taken as benchmark process in the present study. It is Single Input Single Output (SISO) nonlinear system whose cross-sectional area varies along the tank height. The control algorithm is simulated using MATLAB m-file environment. The effectiveness of the predictive algorithm is also presented by experimentally validating it on a conical tank system at different heights. The interfacing of m-file with the experimental setup is the challenging task faced during the initial stage of experimental validation.

This proposed work proposes the design and real-time implementation of an adaptive fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for adaptive gain scheduling that can be configured for any complex industrial nonlinear application. Initially, the open-loop test of the single-input single-output (SISO) system, with nonlinearities and disturbances, is conducted to represent the mathematical model of the process around a set of equilibrium points. The adaptive controllers are then developed and deployed by using the national instruments reconfigurable input/output data acquisition device (NI RIO), NI myRIO-1900, and the control parameters are adapted in real-time corresponding to the changes in the process variable. The resulting servo and regulatory performance of the controllers are compared in MATLAB® software. The adaptive fuzzy controller is deduced to be the better controller as it can generate the desired output with quicker settling times, fewer oscillations, and negligible overshoot.

The sampling distributions associated with frequency response estimates of single input, single output closed-loop systems are derived for the case where both the output and feedback signal measurements are subject to added noise. This work is an extension of that done by Goodman [1-3] and Akaike [4, 5] on open-loop systems. Conditions for response estimate bias are investigated and approximate distributions for the power spectra estimates of the added noise terms are derived.

Multiloop proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are widely used for controlling multivariable processes due to their understandability, simplicity and other practical advantages. The main difficulty of the methodologies using this approach is the fact that the controllers of different loops interact each other. Thus, the knowledge of the controllers in the other loops is necessary for the evaluation of one loop. This work proposes an iterative design methodology of multiloop PID controllers for stable multivariable systems. The controllers in each step are tuned using single-input single-output (SISO) methods for the corresponding effective open loop process (EOP), which considers the interaction of the other loops closed with the controllers of the previous step. The methodology uses a frequency response matrix representation of the system to avoid process approximations in the case of elements with time delays or complicated EOPs. Consequently, different robustness margins on the frequency domain are proposed as specifications: phase margin, gain margin, phase and gain margin combination, sensitivity margin and linear margin. For each case, a PID tuning method is described and detailed for the iterative methodology. The proposals are exemplified with two simulations systems where the obtained performance is similar or better than that achieved by other authors.

AbstractFree space optical (FSO) communication refers to a line of sight technology, which comprises optical source and detector to create a link without the use of physical connections. Similar to other wireless communication links, these are severely affected by losses that emerged due to atmospheric turbulence and lead to deteriorated intensity of the optical signal at the receiver. This impairment can be compensated easily by enhancing the transmitter power. However, increasing the transmitter power has some limitations as per radiation regulations. The requirement of high transmit power can be reduced by employing diversity methods. This paper presents, a wavelength-based diversity method with equal gain combining receiver, an effective technique to provide matching performance to single input single output at a comparatively low transmit power.
