On inferential Iterative Learning Control: With example to a printing system

摘要

Since performance variables cannot be measured directly, Iterative Learning Control (ILC) is usually applied to measured variables. In this paper, it is shown that this can deteriorate performance. New batch-wise sensors that measure the performance variables directly are well-suited for use in ILC and can potentially improve performance. In this paper, recent developments in inferential control are utilized to arrive at control structures suited for inferential ILC. The proposed frameworks extend earlier results and encompass various controller structures. The results are supported with a simulation example.
