Abstract
An evaluation device () for an interconnection of at least one first control circuit and one second control circuit for incorporating an interference signal (w), wherein the interconnection comprises at least one first controller (A) for regulating a first control variable (yA) on the basis of a first steering signal (sA) in the first control circuit, and at least one second controller (B) for regulating a second control variable (yB) on the basis of a second steering signal (sB) in the second control circuit, wherein the first steering signal (sA) of the first controller (A) comprises a second output signal (uB) of the second controller (B), comprising an input interface () for receiving an interference signal (), wherein the evaluation device () is configured to determine at least one first model steering signal (wA) for the first controller (A) and a second model steering signal (wB) for the second controller (B) based on the interference signal (w), and at least one output interface () for incorporating the first model steering signal (wA) in the first steering signal (sA) and the second model steering signal (wB) in the second steering signal (sB) such that the first steering signal (sA) comprises a portion of the interference signal (w) and the second steering signal (sB) comprises a portion of the interference signal (w), in order to take into account the interference signal (w) as a steering signal when regulating a technological process.
