Abstract:
Multivariable process control forms an important part of modern day control. While hardwired controllers still constitute the basic component of such control systems, with reducing communication latencies, controllers on the network are being mooted as a viable alternative. These controllers promise a large number of advantages in terms of reduction in wiring and greater flexibility in implementing supervisory control systems. In this paper, a study is presented which shows that UDP (User Datagram Protocol) can actually be used for real-time multivariable process control. Latency reduction algorithms used in high performance message passing systems have been used.

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...
