First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling a plant, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of monitored signals by a plurality of model controllers and a data evaluator;
evaluating the plurality of monitored signals to determine when sufficient information of the plurality of monitored signals is received;
selecting a model controller of the plurality of model controllers to generate a control signal based on the plurality of monitored signals; and
using the model controller to provide the control signal to the plant.

Abstract
A scheme for management of uncertainty in control systems that require adaptation is described. The scheme removes as much uncertainty as possible at design time and manufacturing time by taking advantage of available computer resources in pre-computing a large set of robustness-performance tradeoffs. a plant that is controlled by having model controllers and a data evaluator receive monitored signals. The monitored signals are evaluated to determine when sufficient information is received. One of the model controllers generates a control signal based upon the monitored signals received.
