Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for process control that extracts information from a process for developing a model of the process that is used to design system control. The apparatus includes means for selecting a process model form that has two or more selectable parameters. The apparatus also includes means for deliberately disturbing a process that is in open-loop operation and that is in a substantially settled state and further includes means for measuring the process response. The apparatus selects parameters for the process model form according to a function of the measured process response. In this way a complete model of the process is identified. The apparatus self-tunes by directly calculating new control parameters according to a function of the identified open-loop process model and a preselected target behavior.
