Abstract :
The problem of tuning individual loops in a multivariable controller is investigated. It is shown how the performance of a specific loop relates to a row in the controller matrix. Several interpretations of this relation are given. An algorithm is also presented that estimates the model required for the tuning via a relay feedback experiment. The algorithm does not need any prior information about the system or the controller. The results are illustrated by an example
