Abstract

A process controller having a setting section for giving a target value for a fixed period of time, a control section including a predicting section for predicting a process response for the fixed time period in accordance with a current value of a process control amount and a virtual value of an operation amount; a quantitating section for quantitating a difference between the target value and the result by the predicting section; a calculating section for calculating a basic signal of the operation amount in accordance with the quantitated result, and an optimizing section including a predicting section for predicting a process response for the fixed time period with a control amount and an initial operation amount of the process; another quantitating section for quantitating a difference between the prediction and the target value, a calculating section for calculating the operation amount in accordance with the second quantitated result; and a section for performing control in such a way that the quantitating result and a predetermined evaluation criterion are compared with each other to perform an evaluation. The calculated result of the operation amount is repeatedly applied …
