Software Package "MIMO Master" for Approximate Optimization of Multivariable Control Systems with Time Delay
The article considers the software package (SP) “MIMO Master” for modeling and approximate optimization of parameters for typical control laws applied to multivariable dynamical objects with time delays in channels. The design instru- ment used for the SP is Matlab & Simulink, a standard tool for analysis and simu- lation dynamic systems. The convenient interface allows the user to input objects parameters or identify them from the arrays of step response values, choose one or few control quality indexes, implement all necessary calculations and proce- dures of numerical optimization, and graphically represent the transfer processes in the closed-loop control system. The SP allows taking into account constraints on control actions and exploring sensitiveness to inaccuracy of the control object model. The user does not have to know Matlab to work with the SP.
