This paper presents two soft-sensing models for predicting the product yields profile and the cracking degree of an ethylene pyrolysis furnace. The model based on single neural network with only one hidden layer trained by Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm with regularisation was first developed. It was found that the single neural network lack generalisation capability in that they can give undesirable performance when applied to unseen data. To improve the generalisation capability of the soft-sensing model, multi-model soft-sensors based on bootstrap aggregated neural networks with sequential training are used. In the sequential training of bootstrap aggregated networks, the first network is trained to minimise its prediction error whereas the rest of the networks are trained not only to minimise their prediction errors but also minimise the correlation among the trained networks. The overall output is obtained by combining all the individual networks. Application results show that the multi-model soft-sensors possess good generalisation capability in that they give good performance when applied to unseen data.

A prediction control algorithm is presented based on least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) model for a class of complex systems with strong nonlinearity. The nonlinear off-line model of the controlled plant is built by LS-SVM with radial basis function (RBF) kernel. In the process of system running, the off-line model is linearized at each sampling instant, and the generalized prediction control (GPC) algorithm is employed to implement the prediction control for the controlled *** obtained algorithm is applied to a boiler temperature control system with complicated nonlinearity and large time *** results of the experiment verify the effectiveness and merit of the algorithm.

process model based methods to detect faults in a hydraulic linear servo axis by measurement of up to five variables are presented. The faults that are detected include gas enclosures in the hydraulic fluid, such as air, vapour and foam. The control edges and the valve spool are also monitored in order to detect faults such as erosion of the control edges and grooving of the valve spool. Furthermore, the leakage flow between the cylinder chambers and to the surroundings are monitored, which allows to detect damages of the sealing between the cylinder chambers and between the cylinder and the pushrod. The external mechanical load and the valve spool dynamics are also included in the fault detection and diagnosis approach.

By means of agent oriented software engineering, flexible, adaptive automation systems can be developed. An open question is, nevertheless, how could the specific requirements on automation systems, in particular related to dependability and real-time features, be considered. In this paper an approach for the integration of such features in the development of flexible agent oriented automation systems is presented

A synthetical method of multivariable control system performance assessment is proposed in this paper, which uses multivariable minimum variance control (MVC) benchmark to determine the stochastic performance, and normalized multivariate impulse response (NMIR) curve as an alternative measure of performance to test the dynamic performance, and with the help of auto-correlation function (ACF) and cross-correlation function (CCF) to analyse if there are oscillations exist. The method is applied to assess the performance of multivariable predictive control system of industrial distillation column.

This paper will review the successful master controller revamp of Sappi Fine Paper North America's #3 Paper Machine at its Skowhegan, Maine mill. The rebuild project included upgrading the press section and increasing the speed of the paper machine by 500 FPM (150 MPM). The existing original drive system had been installed with sectional AC drives. The original drive system was becoming more difficult to maintain due to unavailability of parts and the out-of-date diagnostic system. The revamp involved the re-use of 76 existing drives and the installation of 8 new AC sectional drives. A new master controller was added with an enhanced diagnostic HMI. The new master controller architecture communicated with, controlled and diagnosed the old drives as well as the new drives. The unique combination of existing drives and new drives formed a cohesive system with all of the advantages of a new drive system. A staged installation was performed to reduce the outage time impact. The paper machine rebuild project was completed in March 2003 and has met the expectations of a successful revamp.

According to the multi-model approach a nonlinear dynamical process is approximated in different working points by local valid linear models. The global valid model output is calculated as the weighted sum of the sub-model outputs. The parameters of the Gaussian weighting function can be chosen by optimization. The computation time can be reduced if instead of the model outputs the parameters (for example static gain and time constant) of the local valid models are merged. The global valid nonlinear model can be used e.g., for model based predictive control. The new, multi-parameter method is illustrated by a heat exchanger example.

In the process industry, engineering functions for the administration and optimization of devices are gaining importance in comparison with processcontrol functions. Thus, the term 'asset optimization' is often used to describe techniques that exploit the full potential of plant assets. This applies in particular to field devices used in production processes. This paper presents the asset management box (AMBOX) which is an open, configuration-free and manufacturer-independent access to field device functionality for the Profibus-PA Fieldbus, creating an additional information channel between field and plant control level.
