MFA Controllers inside ControlWave™

What's New
What's the Big Deal
What's the Benefit
Embedded Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) controllers inside CW. Offers Bristol Babcock users an enhanced control capability delivered as part of the ControlWave solution. Greater yield and reduced production cost, higher product quality and pollution control.


Left: When MFA (top) and PID (bottom) start from the same oscillating control condition, PID will continue to oscillate while MFA will quickly adapt to an excellent control condition. Right: MFA controllers as function blocks in ControlWave Designer.

Model-Free Adaptive Control
Bristol - MFA Product Options
Embedded MFA Inside ControlWave
MFA controls the processes that are too difficult for PID to handle. MFA is the only "No Model" advanced controller on the market that can control complex systems without the use of first-principle based mathematical models or dynamic modeling based models. Once installed, no controller parameter tuning is required.

Better control means improved process stability, higher production efficiency and yield, consistent product quality, and reduced material and energy waste.
