Abstract

A control engineer is required to design a system to meet the specified desired performance with guaranteed reliability and safety. Reliability and safety are particularly important in the field of process control. However, not only in process control but also in other industrial applications, reliability and safety are emphasised as well as the performance of the controller. The goal of a supervisory structure is to establish the health of a system and design an alarm system for the user in the hope of preventing undesirable consequences. The component is called fault detection and diagnosis (FDI), and a process model-based algorithm is used in this study to monitor the operation of a system. Nevertheless, because stability is a primary requirement of a control system, another requirement of supervision is to guarantee the stability as well as the health of the plant. This is the theme of this paper which combines both control and supervision using GPC.
