New features and changes introduced in this version are:
New Multiple MPC Controllers Block in the Model Predictive Control Toolbox™ Simulink® Library
You can now use the Multiple MPC Controllers block in Simulink® software to control a nonlinear process over a range of operating points. You include an MPC controller for each operating point in the Multiple MPC Controllers block and specify switching between these controllers in real-time based on the input scheduling signal to the block. If you need to change the design of a specific controller, you can open the MPC Design Tool GUI directly from the Multiple MPC Controllers block.
During model simulation, Model Predictive Control Toolbox™ provides bumpless transfer when the system transitions between operating points.
To learn more about configuring the new block, see the Multiple MPC Controllers block reference page.
Tested Code Generation Support for Real-Time Workshop® Target Systems
After designing an MPC controller in Simulink® software using the MPC Controller block, you can use Real-Time Workshop software to build this controller and deploy it to the following target systems for real-time control:
The following target systems are either not supported or not recommended because they result in significant performance issues:
| Note The Multiple MPC Controllers block has not been tested with the target systems supported by Real-Time Workshop software. |
Ability to Design Controllers with Time-Varying Weights and Constraints Using the GUI
While you design an MPC controller using the MPC Design Tool graphical user interface (GUI), you can specify time-varying weights and constraints for manipulated variables, rate of change of manipulated variables, and output variables. In the previous version, you could only specify the time-varying weights and constraints at the command line.
Furthermore, you can load an MPC controller with time-varying information from the command line into the MPC Design Tool GUI.
To learn more about the new options in the MPC Design Tool GUI, see the Model Predictive Control Toolbox documentation.
