Abstract

A method automatically determines, controller parameters of a plurality of controllers for controlling a process controlled system that is composed of a plurality of coupled control systems. The controller parameters of the respective controllers are calculated from the measured responses or the individual control systems, being calculated by a computer for equivalent transfer functions that consider couplings between control systems in the, process controlled system. This occurs in an iterative method, in which a multi-dimensional, non-linear equation system is supplied step-by-step to an optimized solution A, a solution is individually calculated for each non-linear equation, that enters into the other equations. A different standard method for solving non-linear equation systems can also be utilized. A primary application is envisioned for: setting a furnace having a plurality of heating zones.
