MFA Control Toolbox for MATLAB®
The MFA Control Toolbox for MATLAB software includes embedded Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) controllers for the MATLAB environment. The MFA controllers are developed as MFA S-functions for control system simulations in the Simulink environment. It is a great tool for research, development, teaching, and lab testing.
MFA controls the processes that are too difficult for PID controllers or other control methods to handle. MFA is the only “No Model” advanced controller on the market that can control complex systems without the use of first-principle mathematical models or dynamic modeling based models. Better control means improved process stability, higher production efficiency and yield, consistent product quality, and reduced material and energy waste.
Using the rich variety of MFA controllers in the MFA Control Toolbox, you can solve various tough control problems at ease and prove the concept with computer simulations before you launch the real MFA control system using other real-time MFA control products. The MFA Control Toolbox software runs in Microsoft Windows NI/2000/XP operating system and is copy protected by a hardkey (Parallel or USB).
1. MFA Control Toolbox for MATLAB – Standard Edition
The Standard Edition includes 6 most popular MFA controllers as S-functions described in the following table. You can select and configure any MFA controllers for your control simulations. The number of MFAs that can run in a simulation program is limited by the size of the MFA Control Toolbox software. Simulation models and Simulink programs to demonstrate these MFA controllers are also included.
MFA Controllers Included |
Capability and Usage |
SISO MFA Controller |
Replaces PID to eliminate manual tuning. |
Nonlinear MFA Controller |
Controls extremely nonlinear processes. |
MFA pH Controller |
Controls pH processes. |
SISO + Feedforward MFA Controller |
Compensates for measurable disturbances. |
Anti-delay + Feedforward MFA Controller |
Controls processes with large time delays or large Tau/T Ratio. |
Robust MFA Controller |
Protects the process variable from running outside defined boundaries. |
2. MFA Control Toolbox for MATLAB – Professional Edition
The Professional Edition includes 6 most popular MFA controllers and 7 special MFA controllers as S-functions described in the following table. Each of the 7 special MFA controllers solves a very challenging control problem. You can select and configure any MFA controllers for your control simulations. The number of MFAs that can run in a simulation program is limited by the size of the MFA Control Toolbox software. Simulation models and Simulink programs to demonstrate these MFA controllers are also included. More special MFA controllers and related simulation process models are added into the Professional Edition from time to time. Customers with Annual Software Service can receive free software updates that include these new MFA controllers.
