CSPS: an interactive tool for control design and analysis of processes with industrial characteristics

CSPS is a user friendly interactive tool for control design, simulation and analysis of systems with characteristics commonly found in industry, such as dead time, constraints and measurement noise. The tool is able to validate and compare, in a simple and intuitive way, the performance and robustness of the three control structures most widely used in industrial applications: proportional-integral-derivative (PID), dead-time compensators (DTC), and model predictive control (MPC). Furthermore, the tool provides several options of techniques for handling input and output process constraints.

CSPS can be freely used for non-commercial purposes and its current versions can be downloaded here.
