Multiloop Self-tuning Control: Decoupling and Pole-assignment Regulators for 2-input 2-output Systems
Industrial Control Unit, University of Strathclyde Glasgow G1 1XW
This work considers the regulation of 2-input 2-output systems. A class of controllers which simultaneously decouples the system and assigns its closed-loop poles is derived. The controllers in this class are of the hybrid type and consist of a continuous-time control law, the parameters of which are updated using a discrete-time identification algorithm. Convergence and strong consistency results are derived for the identification algorithm and used to demonstrate that the adaptive control law does indeed produce a stable decoupled closed-loop system with poles correctly assigned.
