Auto-tuning of TITO decoupling controllers from step tests

Abstract:
This paper considers auto-tuning of simple lead-lag decoupler plus decentralized PI/PID controllers for effective control of two-input and two-output (TITO) processes. A new robust identification method from step tests is presented first for SISO processes and then sequentially applied to TITO processes. The resulting 1st-order plus dead-time model is used for decoupler design and the 2nd-order one is used for decentralized PID sequential tuning. The simulation is given for illustration of the proposed tuning.

Open and closed-loop control systems
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal and...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
