Absrract This paper presents a practical application of the conventional multi-loop control method for the temperature control of a television glass furnace. To control the temperature of the TV glass furnace, major input-output variables are selected, and simple FirstOrder-Plus-Dead-Time(F0PDT)models are established with the process experimental data. Based on the FOPDT models, a multi-loop. c...

Nonlinear process control is a difficult task in process industries. Conical tank level control is one among them. Real processes often exhibits nonlinear behavior, time variance and delays between inputs and outputs. This paper aims at implementing an adaptive control algorithm for a conical tank system. System identification of the non-linear process is done using black box modelling and foun...

This work presents a novel control technique that combines concepts of Sliding Surface with Linear Algebra methodology for controller design. The result is an improved robustness, while the chattering effect attributed to great uncertainties avoided. A First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) model process used develop based on and concept sliding surface improve its performance under uncertainties. ...

PID controllers have become the most predominant control element for industrial process control . Programs used for industrial process control are written in many software tools but this paper focuses on MATLAB simulation . In this paper, an optimal method for tuning PID controllers for first order plus time delay systems is presented using dimensional analysis and numerical optimization techni...

In this paper, a real-coded genetic algorithm is proposed for identification of time delay systems from step responses. FOPDT (First-Order Plus Dead-Time) and SOPDT (SecondOrder Plus Dead-Time) systems, which are the most useful processes in this field, but are difficult for system identification because of a long dead-time problem and a model mismatch problem. Genetic algorithms have been succ...

The analysis study has been done for a First Order Plus Delay Time (FOPDT) model controlled by Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), proportional integral(PI),Internal Model Controller(IMC) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) using MATLAB software. The study has been done for both MPC and conventional control methods to design the controller for the level tank system and the results has been c...

In the paper we present tuning rules for PI and PID controllers and the first order plus dead time (FOPDT) process model. The settings respect both performance and stability indices and provide a high degree of robustness for any value of the dead time parameter. As the performance index we are using the well known modulus optimum criterion, which requires that the amplitude of the closed-loop ...
