Software architecture for real time identification and control of industrial processes.

In this paper the architecture of Control Av program is described. Control Av software has been designed for identification and control of industrial processes in real time. It implements identification methods for obtaining mathematical models of the process to control, which can be used for PID or H_{∞ controller design and real time controller implementation. Control AV has communication interface for process control through National Instruments data acquisition devices, RS232, NetDDE and OPC technologies. SlSO (single-input and single-output) and MlMO (multiple-inputs and multiple-outputs) processes can be identified, controlled and evaluated using performance and robustness indicators. A friendly user interface facilities monitoring, design and analysis tasks. The application is based in optimized software using object oriented programming (OOP) technique.}
