Algorithm for determining FFOPDT model parameters θP = {K, T, L, α} when three symmetrical points {tx, t50, t100‒x} on the reaction curve are specified.

Algorithm: identification method for three symmetrical points

Input: {tx, t50 and t100‒x}, Δy, and Δu from the process reaction curve
Output: FFOPDT model parameters θP = {K, T, L, α}
1: Calculate the process gain K using (21).
2: Collect tx, t50, and t100‒x from the process reaction curve.
3: Calculate the value of Δ using equation (32).
4: Calculate the value of α = f1(Δ) using equation (34).
5: Calculate the value of functions f2(α) and f3(α) using equations (35) and (36), respectively.
6: Determine the value of T = f2(α)·(t100‒x – tx)α.
7: Determine the value of L = t100‒x – f3(α)·T1/α.
