Virtual Laboratory Attended with Matlab for the Multivariable Industrial System

Abstract

In this paper the authors present and discuss results obtained from on the conformation of a practice of virtual laboratory attended with Matlab, for the design of a multivariavels controller for a distillation column. It' carries out a study of the decoupling method to be implemented, which is based on the use of the transfer functions matrix of the researched process. The innovative aspect of the employed methodology lies in the use of the experimental model of a real distillation
column in order to implement, through simulation, techniques of classical decoupling with the correspondent performance evaluation. The final results are shown through the obtained time responses using Matlab.
