Control device for controlling a technical system, and method for configuring the control device

Abstract

An operating signal is fed to a first machine learning module to reproduce a behavior signal of a technical system, the behavior signal occurring specifically without the current use of a control action and output the reproduced behavior signal as a first output signal. The first output signal is fed to a second machine learning module to reproduce a resulting behavior signal using a control action signal and output the reproduced behavior signal as a second output signal. Furthermore, an operating signal is fed to a third machine learning module, and a third output signal is fed to the trained second machine learning module. A control action performance ascertained using the second output signal, and the control action performance is used to train the third machine learning module to optimize the control action performance. By training the third machine learning module, a control device controls the technical system.
