Multivariable Control Systems

Abstract

A characteristic feature of modern industrial and production processes is that their qualitative and quantitative parameters are a function of many interdependent and interconnected variables. Some of the process variables must be maintained constant or made to vary in a manner prescribed by the characteristic features of the given process. These are the so called controlled variables of the process. Their number is not fixed, and some fairly complex systems may have but a single controlled variable. Such single variable systems are treated very extensively in the current literature on automatic control theory. The present book, on the other hand, is devoted to automatic control systems with many controlled variables (at least more than one). Examples abound of systems with numerous controlled variables, and the modern tendency is toward ever greater utilization of systems and plants of this kind. We call them multivariable control systems (MCS).
