Closed-loop control systems in a platform for fouling detection

In this paper presents the design of closed-loop control systems in a didactic platform for fouling detection. Each control loop can be distinguished by the actuator used, e.g., or control valve or frequency inverter, for adjusting the desired flow in the main tube. In a MATLAB routine were identified of plants models, it designed controllers for the systems (by the SIMC tuning method) and simulated their responses, given one set-point change and one load disturbance, both of type unit step.
