Program Package for Process Identification and Control System Design

Abstract This paper provides a general description of a large suite of FORTRAN programs called SIPAC which allow the identification, design and simulation of linear time-invariant dynamic systems. The programs included in SIPAC can all be used in a conversational mode of working. Wide collection of modern identification and design techniques of control systems is provided. The process model may be given by a transfer function matrix, system matrix or 3tate-space equations. Transformations between these representations are available. Then the optimal control, pole allocation and state estimation problems can be solved. Finally the open or closed loop resultant system may be simulated. SIPAC has already been used to solve several problems from the process control industries.
