Synthesis of multivariable PID controllers via inter-communicative decentralized multi-scale control for TITO processes

A new method of centralized PI/PID control system synthesis for TITO processes using the non-conventional Inter-Communicative Decentralized Multi-Scale Control (ICD-MSC) scheme is presented. Explicit mathematical tuning equations are constructed which are used to systematically convert the inter-communicative multi-scale controllers into an industrial implementable form of centralized PID controllers. An illustrative example shows the effectiveness of the proposed synthesis method which is easy to use and understand.
