The conventional PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control technique is widely used for the process control in many industries since it is simple in structure and provides the good response. Nowadays, this control technique has been developed on the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to use for the process control loop. However, using this technique is difficult when tuning the PID parameters ($K_p$, $T_i$ and $T_d$) to achieve the best response. Moreover, trial-and-error procedure along with the operator experiences are required to obtain the best results when tuning the PID controller parameters. This paper proposes the self-tuning PID controller based on PLC for the process control in the industries. The proposed self-tuning PID controller uses the PLC-based PID structures to control the process production. The proposed PID tuning utilizes the PLC to synthesize and analyze controller parameter as well as to tune for appropriate parameters using Dahlin method and extrapolation. Experimental results using a self-tuning PID controller to control temperature of the oven show that the controller developed is capable of controlling the process very effectively and provides a good response.

Control Chart is a graph which dots the characteristic values of a process. It is the tool of statistical technique to keep a process in controlled condition. It is also used for investigating the state of a process. Therefore many companies have used Control Chart as the tool of statistical process control (SPC). Products from a production process represent accidental dispersion values around a certain reference value. Fluctuations cause of quality dispersion is classified as a chance cause and a assignable cause. Chance cause refers unmanageable practical cause such as operator proficiency differences, differences in work environment, etc. Assignable cause refers manageable cause which is possible to take actions to remove such as operator inattention, error of production equipment, etc. Traditionally ${\bar{x}}-R$ control chart or ${\bar{x}}-s$ control chart is used to find and remove the error cause. Traditional control chart is to determine whether the measured data are in control or not, and lets us to take action. On the other hand, RNELCC (Reflected Normal Expected Loss Control Chart) is a control chart which, even in controlled state, indicates the information of economic loss if a product is in inconsistent state with process target value. However, contaminated process can cause control line sensitive and cause problems with the detection capabilities of chart. Many studies on robust estimation using trimmed parameters have been conducted. We suggest robust RNELCC which used the idea of trimmed parameters with RNEL control chart. And we demonstrate effectiveness of new control chart by comparing with ARL value among traditional control chart, RNELCC and robust RNELCC.

A novel control method with automatic tuning of PID controller parameters has been developed for efficient regulation of dissolved oxygen concentration in fed-batch fermentations of Escherichia coli. Agitation speed and oxygen partial pressure in the inlet gas stream were chosen to be the manipulated variables. A heuristic reasoning allowed improved tuning decisions from the supervision of control performance indices and it coule obviate the needs for process assumptions or disturbance patterns. The control input consisted of feedback and feedforword parts. The feedback part was determined by PID control and the feedforward part is determined from the feed rate. The proportional gain was updated on-line by a set of heuristics rules based on the supervision of three performance indices. These indices were output error covariance, the average value of output error, and input covariance, which were calculated on-line using a moving window. The integral and derivative time constants were determined from the period of output response. The specific growth rate was maintained at a low level to avoid acetic acid accumulation and thus to achieve a high cell density. The specific growthe rate was estimated from the carbon dioxide evolution rate. In fed-batch fermentation, the simutaneous control of dissolved oxygen concentration (at 0.2; fraction of saturated value) and specific growth rate (at 0.25$hr^{-1}$) was satisfactory for the entire culture period in spite of the changes in the feed rate and the switching of control input.

To control nonlinear chemical processes, a new neural linearizing control scheme is proposed. This is a hybrid of a radial basis function(RBF) network and a linear controller, thus the control action applied to the process is the sum of both control actions. Firstly, to train the RBF newtork a linear reference model is determined by analyzing the past operating data of the process. Then, the training of the RBF newtork is iteratively performed to minimize the difference between outputs of the process and the linear reference model. As a result, the apparent dynamics of the process added by the RBF newtork becomes similar to that of the linear reference model. After training, the original nonlinear control problem changes to a linear one, and the closed-loop control performance is improved by using the optimum tuning parameters of the linear controller for the linear dynamics. The proposed control scheme performs control and training simultaneously, and shows a good control performance for nonlinear chemical processes.

Process information is known to have the continuous distribution in many manufacturing processes. Generalized p-chart has been developed for controlling processes by classifying the information characteristics into several groups. But it is improper to describe continuous processes with the classified process informal ion, which is based on the classical set concept. Fuzzy control chart, has been developed for the control of linguistic data, but it is also based on the dichotomous notion of classical set theory. In this paper, fuzzy sampling method is studied in order to process the uncertain data properly. The method is incorporated with the fuzzy control chart. Statistical characteristics of the fuzzy representative value are utilized to device the fuzzy-statistical control chart. The fuzzy-statistical control chart is compared with the generalized p-chart and both the sensitivity to the process information distribution change pared robustiness against the noise on the process information of the fuzzy-statistical control chart are shown to be superior.

The promise of improved productivity and quality has lead to numerous research investigations in machining process monitoring and control. Recent studies have demonstrated that careful attention must be paid to the regulation of multiple process modules within a single operation such that each module performs its function properly and adverse interactions between modules do not occur. This had lead to the development of supervisory control; particularly to the development of methodologies to systemati-cally construct and implement these controllers. However, no research study has investigated the effect of the production environ-ment on the design of supervisor controllers. In this paper, the design of supervisory controllers for various production environ-ment is studied. The design approach given in Landers and Ulsoy(1998) is applied to construct two supervisory machining control-lers that are experimentally implemented in a face milling operation. Comparisons with an experimental implementation without process control illustrate the benefits of utilizing process controllers that are coordinated properly. The results also show that the given design approach may be used to construct supervisory controllers for different types of production environments.

Coating process plays an important role in information technology such as display, battery, chip manufacturing and so on. However, due to complexity of coating material and fast deformation of the coating flow, the process is hard to control and it is difficult to maintain the desired quality of the products. Moreover, it is hard to measure the coating process because of severe processing conditions such as high drying temperature, high deformation coating flow, and sensitivity to the processing variables etc. In this article, the coating process is to be re-illuminated from the rheological perspectives. The practical approach to analyze and quantify the coating process is discussed with respect to coating materials, coating flow and drying process. The ideas on the rheology control of coating materials, pressure and wet thickness control in patch coating process, and stress measurement during drying process will be discussed.

In this paper, an efficient control method for semiconductor fabrication process is presented. Generally, control is performed with data which is under the influence of process disturbance. EWMA is one of the most popular control methods in semiconductor fabrication that effectively deals with varying process condition. A new method using EWMA, called the Dual Damping EWMA, is presented in this study to reduce over-control by separating weight factor of input and output. The goal is to reflect Drift but reduce the effects of White noise in run to run control. Simulation is performed to evaluate the performance of DPEWMA and to compare with EWMA and Double EWMA.

CUSUM control charts are widely used to monitor processes with small shifts. CUSUM control charts, however, are less effective in detecting for recurring cycles or frequent small shifts in the process. With Shewhart control charts, we have applied the variety of run rules to check the stability of process in addition to the situations that some points fall outside the control limits. In this paper, we propose the Z-CUSUM control chart for monitoring the process with recurring cycles or frequent small shifts by use of the zone concept as like the Shewhart control charts.
