Abstract

Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT) is a data-driven technique used to design controllers without the need of a process model, only input-output data is utilized. When the process has non-minimum phase (NMP) zeros, the original method usually presents poor performance, because scarcely the reference model has the same NMP zeros as the process. To overcome this problem, a flexible criterion has been proposed to the VRFT method, in a way that both the controller parameters and the NMP zeros of the process are estimated together. In this paper we present the application of the VRFT method with flexible criterion to the level control of a MIMO pilot plant. We show that a sequential controller design may incorporate NMP behavior to the process. We then use the VRFT method with flexible criterion to design the controller using only closed-loop data from the process.
