Abstract
Computer-implemented system and method for controlling a processing apparatus having at least one independently controlled manipulated variable and at least one controlled variable responsive to the manipulated variable, using a robust multi-variable controller which defines an expected variation in magnitude for each controlled variable as a respective function of each manipulated variable via use of a set of at least two models. The model set has a dynamic response inertial characteristic. The two models are derived from a Reference Model (the traditional model defined in Dynamic Matrix Control). The multi-model set further enables adaptation of the models and gains during real-time use.
