Abstract
This paper presents an adaptive decoupling temperature control for
an extrusion barrel in a plastic injection molding process. After
establishing a stochastic polynomial matrix model of the system, a
corresponding decoupling system representation was then developed. The
decoupling control design was derived based on the minimization of a
generalized predictive performance criterion. The set-point tracking,
disturbance rejection, and robustness capabilities of the proposed
method can be improved by appropriate adjustments to the tuning
parameters in the criterion function. A real-time control algorithm,
including the recursive least-squares method, is proposed which was
implemented using a digital signal processor TMS320C31 from Texas
Instruments. Through the experimental results, the proposed method has
been shown to be powerful under set-point changes, load disturbances,
and significant plant uncertainties. The proposed control law is shown
to be less computational and more effective than other well-known
multivariable control strategies, and more powerful than single-loop
temperature-zone control policies
