Discusses:
- When to use multivariable control and when not to?
- Two major issues with implementing multivariable control: gain scheduling and integrator wind up protection
Inline simple gain and phase margin measured for SISO, "robustness" determination of multivariable control requires complex analyses using singular value techniques and Monte Carlo simulations.
When to use multivariable control:
- System has high input/output coupling and not much separation between loop bandwidth
- System is complex with large number of states
- When sequential SISO loop closure will not meet performance requirements
Importance of having a mechanism to limit the control rate in the synthesis process. The control rate should be weighted appropriately in order to not saturate the system and stay in the linearity regime.
- importance of scaling the plant prior to synthesis and also replacing pure integrators with slow poles
