  • Abstract
    Vacuum pan crystallization is a process that is very difficult to control by classical means. This paper presents a method of using a rule-based expert system for the control of such a process. The structure of the expert controller for adjusting the characteristic conductivity is shown to consist of a diagnostic expert system and a discrete dynamic model that is used for conversion of semantic results into numeric output values. The expert controller was implemented in the sugar factory in Lovosice in 1993.
