碩士 === 大同大學 === 化學工程研究所 === 85 === The purpose of this study is to study the applicability of a single neuron controller for trajectory tracking in a batch reactor. First, the behavior of the single neuron controller with one autotuning parameter is compared with that of the single neuron controller with three autotuning parameters. By simulation studies, the simplified single neuron controller performs properly. Therefore, this simplified controller is applied to track an operating trajectory in a batch reactor experimentally. By autotuning only the slope of the nonlinear saturated function, the adopted single neuron controller can track a given operating trajectory tightly by merely observing the process output error. Experimental results reveal the applicability of such a single neuron controller for tracking a given trajectory in a-batch reactor.
