摘要： Conventional Boolean Logic Control is augmented to provide enhanced diagnostics, monitoring, and fail safe operation for dynamic systems having distributed discrete-valued sensors and actuators. A decentralized model of a controlled system defines behavior and timing models for both sensors and actuators, termed Control Elements (CEs). Each CE has a first model for transition from state 0 to 1, and a second model for transition from state 1 to 0. Each behavioral model is defined by an Event Signature comprising a sequence of state changes in neighboring CEs. A continuous evaluation of event signatures is performed to compute a probability that a given CE will change state. An Expectation Function is used to check and enforce the correct behavior of a CE. A statistical temporal model predicts delays in the states of a CE as a function of its previous and current delays. The distributed behavior and on-line timing models are used to detect and diagnose incorrect behavior and failures of decentralized sensors and actuators.

摘要： An automatic tuner is provided for continuous, on-line tuning of proportional, integral, and derivative (PID) feedback controllers. The tuner compares the system input signals with the system response to generate estimates of system damping, frequency, and steady-state error, and then applies a set of if-then rules derived from mathematical and/or empirical analysis of the system parameters. The tuner represents each parameter of the rule-set by a "fuzzy" membership function, and an inference mechanism uses fuzzy logic for computing system outputs from the input values. The tuner also incorporates a self-monitoring mechanism to adjust the tuner output based on past performance. At each running cycle, the tuner computes a Euclidean distance between present values and desired values in the parameter-space represented by damping, frequency, and steady-state error. The output of the tuner is then scaled by a "reward factor" that is a function of the tuner effectiveness and consistency. If tuner effectiveness degrades, the self-monitoring mechanism diminishes the output of the tuner. If the tuner is operating with consistency, the self-monitoring mechanism increases the output of the tuner. Thus, the self-monitoring mechanism improves performance and robustness of the tuner by scaling the output to produce faster slew rates when the tuner is performing well and by reducing tuner output when performance is poor.
