Design Controller in Simulink
5-9
Confirm that Operating Point is the desired operating point. In the tree, click
Operating Point in the Operating Points node.
As desired, the reactor temperature is close to 370 K at steady state. Similarly, the
reactor concentration is 2 kmol/m
3
at steady state. Operating Point is verified as the
desired operating point.
Linearize Plant at Desired Operating Point
In the tree, click MPC Design Task - MPC Controller.
Click Import Plant. The Plant Model Importer dialog box opens.
Click the Linearized Plant from Simulink tab.
• Linearized plant model name box (name of the linearized plant to be created) —
Use the default name, MPC open loop plant2.
• Use existing operating point list — Select Operating Point.
