Timely faults detection in an industrial process is a key aspect for designing a framework for intelligent supervisory control. A way to perform supervisory control is by providing intelligence to the supervision mechanism in continuous processes exposed to faults in order to cope with the identification of a diversity of faults, classify them and to be able to anticipate the consequences deriv...

This paper provides an overview of multilevel flow modelling (MFM) and its application for design of displays for the supervisory control of industrial plant. The problem of designing the inforrrzatian content of sacpervisory displays is discussed and plant representations like MFM using levels of means-end and part-whole. abstractions are proposed as a solution to this design problem. The basi...

This paper presents the implementation of an adaptive supervisory sliding fuzzy cerebellar model articulation controller (FCMAC) in the speed sensorless vector control of an induction motor (IM) drive system. The proposed adaptive supervisory sliding FCMAC comprised a supervisory controller, integral sliding surface, and an adaptive FCMAC. The integral sliding surface was employed to eliminate ...

Supervisory control deals with automated synthesis of controllers based on models of the uncontrolled system and the control requirements. In this paper we share the lessons learned from synthesizing controllers for a patient support system of an MRI scanner regarding the specification of the control requirements. We learned that strictly following the philosophy of supervisory control, which p...

The goal of our control system is to improve the reliability, accuracy, and economy of operation of a sequence of interrelated processes. We achieve this task by using well known, rigorous statistical techniques to continuously monitor process parameters, detect out-of-control equipment, and then optimally adjust relevant machine inputs to bring the process back on target. We have implemented t...

A hierarchical consistency problem for the hierarchical supervisory control of discrete event systems under partial observation is considered, since observability is a practical and general property in real systems. The notion of H-observability is introduced to ensure hierarchical consistency between lowand high-level systems, and an analytical framework for the hierarchical supervisory contro...

A supervisory adaptive control approach has been developed for a structural vibration control of a coordinate measuring machine, which is a dynamic system with time varying system model order and parameters. An on-line dynamic data system modelling algorithm is used to identify the system model order and parameters simultaneously. Based on the identified model, a predictive control algorithm is...

In this paper, we propose a supervisory control system for motion planning of humanoid robots. The proposed system is hierarchically structured into two levels. The lower level controls and monitors the robots using modular state nets. The upper level generates an optimal sequence of motion for user’s requirements using timed Petri nets. Keywords— humanoid robot, modular state net, timed Petri ...

For Internet-based remote control systems, certain human operations may violate desired safety requirements and result in catastrophic failure. For such human-in-the-loop systems, this paper proposes a systematic approach to developing supervisory agents which guarantee that remote manual operations meet safety specifications. By applying the mutual exclusion concept, the Petri net approach is ...
