Many chemical processes are inherently nonlinear. A single linear model is ineffective for these processes. Several local linear models may be developed for different operating conditions. A combination of these local models, through a fuzzy logic representation, results in an overall model for a wider operation range. In this paper, on-line improvements and a fuzzy multimodel have been proposed for predictive control implementation. Firstly, assuming that the premises of the fuzzy rules keep their original structures, the linear parameters in the rule consequents are on-line updated by a weighted recursive least squares algorithm at each sample interval. Secondly, a batch learning algorithm is proposed to tune the fuzzy rule premises using a competitive learning algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed improvements is demonstrated with experimental applications to the filling velocity control of thermoplastic injection molding.
