Abstract:

The BOXPLX of a user specified cost function is evaluated as a control system design method. The emphasis is on compensator design for multiple-input-multiple-output plants, but the technique should be applicable to any control system with adjustable parameters. The engineer must define the plant dynamics, inputs and outputs, the desired output responses for the specified inputs, weighting factors for the performance measure, the type of compensation to be used, the free parameters, and initial values and constraints on the free parameters. The program gives a direct search of the optimum values, within the specified constraints, for the free parameters. Evaluation of the results is given in graphical plots of the output time responses including the desired output response as well as the compensated response.
