Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, IMC-PID-FOF controllers are implemented on real time water level control of a coupled tank system. The 1DOF-IMC-PID-FOF controller is designed based on the IMC structure, the disturbance rejection is not considered in the controller design and the disturbance response has low performance. In the 2DOF-IMC-PID-FOF controller design, the disturbance rejection is considered, and solved separately from the set-point tracking problem. To do this, a complementary sensitivity function is defined and its time constant τt is a tuning parameter, used to adjust the speed of the disturbance response. In the experiment, set-point tracking and disturbance rejection tests are carried out to evaluate the performance of both 1DOF-IMC-PID-FOF and 2DOFIMC-PID-FOF controllers.

KEYWORDS: Two Degrees Of Freedom (2DOF) control, IMC control, Bode’s ideal transfer function, complementary sensitivity function, water level tank system.
