Abstract

Control of multi input and multi output (MIMO) process with interaction is often encountered in process industry. Such MIMO processes are controlled using conventional sliding mode controller (SMC) and tuned by integral square error (ISE) minimizing criterion based Nelder-Mead algorithm. SMC tuned by integral time absolute error (ITAE) minimization criterion based Nelder-Mead algorithm is proposed in this work. Three categories of two inputs and two outputs (TITO) process models are represented in the matrix form, with each of the matrix element representing a first order plus dead time (FOPDT) process. These TITO models are categorized based on the ratio ε, between dead time and time constant of the FOPDT model which forms the matrix element of the TITO model. The performance of conventional SMC is evaluated for these three categories of TITO models, in which the TITO process models with the ratio ε greater than the one, exhibited by poor closed loop performance, whereas the proposed SMC when applied to the these process models delivered superior closed loop performance.
