Design of linear model predictive control for level control process with output feedback from wireless transmitter

This paper aims to design linear model predictive control (MPC) for level control loop using measured output from wireless transmitter. First, the level control process is identified by applying step input and measuring process variable. Then, the controller is designed. After that the time responses of process variable and manipulated variable are simulated. The effect of each MPC parameter on the responses is also discussed during tuning procedure. Finally, the simulation results of the level process show that MPC with output feedback via wireless devices gives satisfactory performance.
