Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) Control Toolbox for MATLAB

The Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) Control Toolbox for MATLAB solves very complex control problems in process-control, building-control and equipment-control applications. It enables users to simulate, test and evaluate MFA controllers on sophisticated process models built in the MATLAB/ Simulink environment. The MFA Control Toolbox includes a set of embedded MFA controller S-functions that work as control function blocks in the Simulink environment. The standard edition includes the following controllers: SISO MFA to replace PID, and control simple to complex processes; nonlinear MFA to control extremely nonlinear processes; anti-delay MFA to control processes with large time delays; robust MFA to force the process variable to stay within defined bounds; feedforward MFA to deal with measurable disturbances; and MFA pH controller to control pH processes. The professional edition of the software includes the six standard controllers plus the following seven: MIMO MFA controllers to control multivariable processes; MFA Sharp controller to achieve tight control for both step and varying setpoint changes; flex-phase MFA controller to control open-loop oscillating processes; anti-inverse MFA controller to control processes with large process time constant and delay time changes; anti-delay MFA pH controller to control pH processes with large time delays; and MFA XRT controller to control exothermalreaction runaway process with large time delays.
