Abstract

To achieve intelligent control algorithm in Foundation Fieldbus process control system, a method which combines LabVIEW and MATLAB to design a real time intelligent control system is presented in this paper. The intelligent control algorithm programmed in MATLAB can be stimulated by LabVIEW SIT, the communication between LabVIEW and fieldbus instruments can be established by OPC Sever, the human machine interface is implemented based on the excellent interface building ability of LabVIEW. Through the fuzzy control of a nonlinear tank level system, good real-time ability and effectiveness of this method are verified. Experiment results show that this method fully integrates the plentiful control function of MATLAB and outstanding interface building function of LabVIEW, and the system has quick control response and small steady-state error. Further more, this method can cover the control algorithm shortage of Foundation Fieldbus.
