Abstract
Control problems in the process industry are dominated by
non-linear and time-varying behaviour, many inner loops, and much
interaction between the control loops. Fuzzy controllers have in
some cases nevertheless mimicked the control actions of a human
operator. Simple fuzzy controllers can be designed starting from
PID controllers, and in more complex cases these can be used in
connection with model-based predictive control. For high level
control and supervisory control several simple controllers can be
combined in a priority hierarchy such as the one developed in the
cement industry. For a design engineer, the chapter is a fairly
detailed reference to various design configurations and design
choices.
