Abstract
In a parameter-dependent control system, comprising at least one controller, from at least one input value, taking into account at least one parameter, and a controlled system, to which at least one control value is fed, an optimization of the parameters of the controller can be achieved with the following design stages of an optimizer. An analyzer 11 connected to the control system for analyzing the control output. A simulator of the control system is connected to the analyzer, and an optimizer connected to the simulator for at least one parameter of the controller under given optimizing criteria. A parameter setter is proruded for setting at least the one parameter, which is optimized by the optimizer and determined in the simulating at the controller.
Claims6
An apparatus comprising:
- a network system comprising a number of controllers for generating control values for a controlled system, the communication of said controllers with one another being dependent on the parameters of said network;
- an analyzer means connected to the network for analyzing the communication within said network;
- simulating means connected to the analyzer means for simulating the communication within the network under varied parameter conditions, the simulating means receiving information about the network from the analyzer means;
- an optimizer means connected to said simulating means for optimizing operation of the simulating means by varying said parameters according to predetermined optimizer rules;
- and
- a parameter setter means responsive to an output of said optimizer means for altering the parameters of said controller network system to produce optimized operation;
- wherein said output of said simulating means being produced after said optimizing operation within said simulating means has been finalized.
