Abstract
A model predictive control (MPC) device includes an input interface configured to receive an industrial process input associated with at least one component of a process automation plant, an output interface configured to transmit a control instruction to control the component, memory configured to store first and second MPC process models corresponding to different states, and a processor configured to identify a current state parameter of an industrial process, and predict a future industrial process output using the first or second MPC process model, based on the current state parameter being associated with the first or second MPC process model. The processor is configured to calculate a target operating point according to the predicted future industrial process output, determine a control signal to drive the industrial process to the calculated target operating point, and output the determined control signal to control operation of the component of the industrial process plant.
