mpcmoveMultiple
Compute gain-scheduling MPC control action at a single time instant
Syntax
Description
computes the optimal manipulated variable moves at the current time using a model predictive
controller selected by index from an array of MPC controllers. This results depends upon the
properties contained in the MPC controller and the controller states. The result also depends on
the measured plant outputs, the output references (setpoints), and the measured disturbance
inputs. mv

estimation is used. Call mpcmoveMultiple
repeatedly to simulate closed-loop

. These changes apply for the current time instant only, allowing a
command-line simulation using mpcmoveMultiple
to mimic the Multiple
MPC Controllers block in Simulink® in a computationally efficient manner.
Input Arguments
MPCArray
— MPC controllers
cell array of MPC controller objects
MPC controllers to simulate, specified as a cell array of traditional (implicit) MPC
controller objects. Use the mpc
command to create the MPC controllers.
All the controllers in MPCArray
must use either default state
estimation or custom state estimation. Mismatch is not permitted.
states
— Current MPC controller states
cell array of mpcstate
objects
Current controller states for each MPC controller in MPCArray
,
specified as a cell array of mpcstate
objects.
Before you begin a simulation with mpcmoveMultiple
, initialize each
controller state using x = mpcstate(mpcobj)
. Then, modify the default
properties of each state as appropriate.
If you are using default state estimation, mpcmoveMultiple
expects
x
to represent x[n|n-1]
(where x
is
one entry in states
, the current state of one MPC controller in
MPCArray
). The mpcmoveMultiple
command updates the
state values in the previous control interval with that information. Therefore, you should not
programmatically update x
at all. The default state estimator employs a
steady-state Kalman filter.
If you are using custom state estimation, mpcmoveMultiple
expects
x
to represent x[n|n]
. Therefore, prior to each
mpcmoveMultiple
command, you must set x.Plant
,
x.Disturbance
, and x.Noise
to the best estimates of
these states (using the latest measurements) at the current control interval.
index
— Index of selected controller
positive integer
Index of selected controller in the cell array MPCArray
, specified
as a positive integer.
ym
— Current measured outputs
row vector
Current measured outputs, specified as a row vector of length
Nym, where
Nym is the number of measured outputs. If you are
using custom state estimation, ym
is ignored. If you set
ym
= []
, then mpcmoveMultiple
uses the appropriate nominal value.
r
— Plant output reference values
array
Plant output reference values, specified as a
p-by-Ny array, where
p is the prediction horizon of the selected controller and
Ny is the number of outputs. Row
r(i,:)
defines the reference values at step i of the
prediction horizon.
r
must contain at least one row. If r
contains
fewer than p rows, mpcmoveMultiple
duplicates the last
row to fill the p-by-Ny array. If
you supply exactly one row, therefore, a constant reference applies for the entire prediction
horizon.
If you set r
= []
, then
mpcmoveMultiple
uses the appropriate nominal value.
To implement reference previewing, which can improve tracking when a reference varies in
a predictable manner, r
must contain the anticipated variations, ideally
for p steps.
v
— Current and anticipated measured disturbances
array
Current and anticipated measured disturbances, specified as a
p-by-Nmd array, where
p is the prediction horizon of the selected controller and
Nmd is the number of measured disturbances. Row
v(i,:)
defines the expected measured disturbance values at step
i of the prediction horizon.
Modeling of measured disturbances provides feedforward control action. If your plant
model does not include measured disturbances, use v
=
[]
.
v
must contain at least one row. If v
contains
fewer than p rows, mpcmoveMultiple
duplicates the last
row to fill the p-by-Nmd array.
If you supply exactly one row, therefore, a constant measured disturbance applies for the
entire prediction horizon.
If you set v
= []
, then
mpcmoveMultiple
uses the appropriate nominal value.
To implement disturbance previewing, which can improve tracking when a disturbance varies
in a predictable manner, v
must contain the anticipated variations,
ideally for p steps.
options
— Override values for selected controller properties
mpcmoveopt
object
Override values for selected properties of the selected MPC controller, specified as an
options object you create with mpcmoveopt
. These options apply to the current
mpcmoveMultiple
time instant only. Using options
yields the same result as redefining or modifying the selected controller before each call to
mpcmoveMultiple
, but involves considerably less overhead. Using
options
is equivalent to using a Multiple MPC Controllers
Simulink block in combination with optional input signals that modify controller
settings, such as MV and OV constraints.
Output Arguments
mv
— Optimal manipulated variable moves
column vector
Optimal manipulated variable moves, returned as a column vector of length Nmv, where Nmv is the number of manipulated variables.
If the controller detects an infeasible optimization problem or encounters numerical
difficulties in solving an ill-conditioned optimization problem, mv
remains at its most recent successful solution, xc.LastMove
.
Otherwise, if the optimization problem is feasible and the solver reaches the
specified maximum number of iterations without finding an optimal solution,
mv
:
Remains at its most recent successful solution if the
Optimizer.UseSuboptimalSolution
property of the controller isfalse
.Is the suboptimal solution reached after the final iteration if the
Optimizer.UseSuboptimalSolution
property of the controller istrue
. For more information, see Suboptimal QP Solution.
info
— Solution details
structure
Solution details, returned as a structure with the following fields.
Uopt
— Optimal manipulated variable sequence
(p+1)-by-Nmv
array
Predicted optimal manipulated variable adjustments (moves), returned as a (p+1)-by-Nmv array, where p is the prediction horizon and Nmv is the number of manipulated variables.
Uopt(i,:)
contains the calculated optimal values at
time k+i-1
, for i = 1,...,p
, where
k
is the current time. The first row of
Info.Uopt
contains the same manipulated variable
values as output argument mv
. Since the controller does
not calculate optimal control moves at time k+p
,
Uopt(p+1,:)
is equal to
Uopt(p,:)
.

array
Optimal output variable sequence, returned as a (p+1)-by-Ny array, where p is the prediction horizon and Ny is the number of outputs.
The first row of Info.Yopt
contains the calculated
outputs at time k
based on the estimated states and
measured disturbances; it is not the measured output at time
k
. Yopt(i,:)
contains the
predicted output values at time k+i-1
, for i =
1,...,p+1
.
Yopt(i,:)
contains the calculated output values at time
k+i-1
, for i = 2,...,p+1
, where
k
is the current time. Yopt(1,:)
is computed based on the estimated states and measured disturbances.
Xopt
— Optimal prediction model state sequence

, where Ts = mpcobj.Ts
is
the controller sample time.
Use Topt
when plotting the Uopt
,
Xopt
, or Yopt
sequences.
Slack
— Slack variable
nonnegative scalar
Slack variable, ε, used in constraint softening, returned as
0
or a positive scalar value.
ε = 0 — All constraints were satisfied for the entire prediction horizon.
ε > 0 — At least one soft constraint is violated. When more than one constraint is violated, ε represents the worst-case soft constraint violation (scaled by your ECR values for each constraint).
See Optimization Problem for more information.
Iterations
— Number of solver iterations
positive integer | 0
| -1
| -2
Number of solver iterations, returned as one of the following:
Positive integer — Number of iterations needed to solve the optimization problem that determines the optimal sequences.
0
— Optimization problem could not be solved in the specified maximum number of iterations.–1
— Optimization problem was infeasible. An optimization problem is infeasible if no solution can satisfy all the hard constraints.–2
— Numerical error occurred when solving the optimization problem.

| 'infeasible'
| 'unrealiable'
Optimization solution status, returned as one of the following:
'feasible'

> 0)'infeasible'
— Solver detected a problem with no feasible solution (Iterations
= –1) or a numerical error occurred (Iterations
= –2)'unreliable'
— Solver failed to converge (Iterations
= 0). In this case, ifmpcobj.Optimizer.UseSuboptimalSolution
isfalse
,u
freezes at the most recent successful solution. Otherwise, it uses the suboptimal solution found during the last solver iteration.
Cost
— Objective function cost
nonnegative scalar
Objective function cost, returned as a nonnegative scalar value. The cost quantifies the degree to which the controller has achieved its objectives. For more information, see Optimization Problem.
The cost value is only meaningful when QPCode =
'feasible'
, or when QPCode = 'feasible'
and
mpcobj.Optimizer.UseSuboptimalSolution
is
true
.
