Conceptual Design of Control Strategies Based on Function-Configuration Mapping Methodology

Conceptual design of control strategies (CDCS) holds very important position in the control strategy design engineering for it determines the design difficulty and final performance of the control system. This paper mainly introduced the research on configurations generation of control strategies under the frame work of Function-Configuration-Technological Process Mapping (F-C-TP) methodology of CDCS. The methodology of CDCS based on Function-Configuration Mapping (F-C) and its mathematical realization are proposed. As the kernel sub-process of the methodology, configurations generation is generalized into a nonlinear 0-1 programming problem. Finally an example is given to illustrate the application of the method proposed. It shows that the method can effectively provide multi possible solutions for the control strategies design engineering and has built a solid theoretical and mathematical foundation for the selection and generation of configurations of control strategies.
