  • Time-discrete adaptive switching on-off controller
    Patent number: 4639853
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for the discrete-time adaptive on-off switching control of a continuous-time process with a binary switching actuator, which uses for the determination of the on-off actuating signal a prediction of a process output sequence over several future sampling intervals as reaction to a possible process input sequence that is applied to a discrete-time linear process model and which estimates and updates in every sampling interval the parameters of the process model by means of a parameter estimation device in order to adapt them to the process to be controlled, even when the process behavior changes, and which has a device for the input and change of the setpoint, the limits of the process output and the sampling time as well as a measuring device for the periodical measurement of the process input.
