Abstract
The paper details the implementation of an adaptive pole placement algorithm on a multiple transputer system. The controller makes use of the extended least squares parameter estimation algorithm and is controlled at the local level by a supervisor task which monitors the behaviour of the control system to ensure robust operation under a variety of environmental conditions. This enhances the integrity of the controller in real-time operations. The adaptive controller is also configured to be used as a node within a distributed control system such that a central network interface can configure a number of individual controllers within the distributed control network. The controller is demonstrated dealing with a plant with changing parameters and disturbances.
