Abstract

The design and the implementation of a model reference adaptive controller for continuous systems are presented. The algorithm has been developed taking into account: (1) the influence of discrete control on the behavior of continuous systems; (2) the possibility of working directly on the continuous representations of the plant and of the reference model; and (3) the need for concurrent implementation of the control software on multiple microprocessor architectures to obtain real-time response. The adaptive control algorithm has been implemented on a personal computer to control a thermostatic chamber. Results derived from this application show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm
