Introduction
Introduction
Control Objectives
Input variables (manipulated or disturbance variables)
Output variables (measured or unmeasured)
Constraints (hard or soft)
Operating characteristics (continuous or batch or semibatch
(semicontinuous))
Safety, environment and economic considerations
Control structure (feedback or feedforward)
Introduction

Introduction
Feedback Control (Scenario 1)
Process 2 regulated F2, depending on steam demand
F2 is disturbance stream, as regulation of F2 is by another
system
Use F1 as manipulated variable
F1 is adjusted to maintain a desired tank height
Introduction
Feedback Control (Scenario 1)
Introduction
Feedback Control (Scenario 2)
Process 1 regulates the flow rate F1, disturbance
Adjust F2 to maintain tank height, manipulated variable
Control valve, fail-open or air-to-close
Introduction
Introduction
Feedforward Control
Introduction
Feed-forward/ feedback control structure
Introduction
Tune level controller for fast or slow response?
Preferable to tune slow return to the set-point
Mostly true for scenario 2
Outlet flow is manipulated but affect process 2
Change the outlet flowrate slowly, yet fast enough that the
tank does not overflow or go dry
Importance of the dominant timescale of the process e.g.,
