Abstract

In this paper, the application of a time-optimal plug&control strategy is discussed. This strategy automatically makes the controller work properly after simply connecting it to the control architecture, without further intervention from the operator. In particular, a level control task and a temperature control task are considered. Implementation problems are addressed and the effectiveness of the methodology is shown.
