Abstract

A way of controlling a plant with multiple inputs and multiple outputs but allowing an operator to direct the control as if each controlled variable had a direct connection to operator controlled variables in described. An interference network cross fertilizes information from multiple subcontrollers amongst themselves, to allow for enhanced control based on user defined criterion.
