Abstract

The paper presents comparison between two popular predictive control algorithms DMC and PFC. General description of both algorithms are presented in details for FOPDT (First Order Plus Dead Time) dynamics. Heating process with heat source and heat exchanger was used as an example control plant for testing both algorithms. Design of controllers and tuning procedures are presented. Results of control and performance tests are included as well as conclusion remarks on practical aspects of implementation of the algorithms.
