Abstract

We present preliminary results of the modeling and control of a hydraulic pilot process, currently under construction at the Laboratory of Automatics of the ISA Departament of Universidad de Valladolid. The system is described by linear inequalities involving both, real and integer variables, and the dynamical and logical decisions are heavily inter dependant. Hence the characterization as a mixed logical dynamical (MLD) system. The model obtained is particularly suited to apply a model based predictive control strategy to command the system. Results of a simulation of the closed loop system are feature
