Abstract
A predictive network is disclosed for operating in a runtime mode and in a training mode. The network includes a preprocessor (34'"'"') for preprocessing input data in accordance with parameters stored in a storage device (14'"'"') for output as preprocessed data to a delay device (36'"'"'). The delay device (36'"'"') provides a predetermined amount of delay as defined by predetermined delay settings in a storage device (18). The delayed data is input to a system model (26'"'"') which is operable in a training mode or a runtime mode. In the training mode, training data is stored in a data file (10) and retrieved therefrom for preprocessing and delay and then input to the system model (26'"'"'). Model parameters are learned and then stored in the storage device (22). During the training mode, the preprocess parameters are defined and stored in a storage device (14) in a particular sequence and delay settings are determined in the storage device (18). During the runtime mode, runtime data is derived from a distributed control system (24) and then preprocessed in accordance with predetermined process parameters and delayed in accordance with the predetermined delay settings. The preprocessed data is then input to the system model (26'"'"') to provide a predicted output, which is a control output to the distributed control system (24).
