A Model-Free Adaptive Quality Variable control system is disclosed for effectively controlling quality variables on-line in closed-loop fashion. It is able to automatically control quality variables under the conditions where there are significant varying time delays and disturbances in the process.

A Model-Free Adaptive Quality Variable control system is disclosed for effectively controlling quality variables on-line in closed-loop fashion. It is able to automatically control quality variables under the conditions where there are significant varying time delays and disturbances in the process. Because of its unique capability, the control system is useful for building flexible and adaptive production systems, achieving Six Sigma quality control goals, and fulfilling the on demand manufacturing needs in the new e-commerce environment.

I claim: 1. A method of adjusting the performance of a model-free adaptive controller having a delay predictor, comprising the steps of: a) establishing a selectable performance index Ip ranging from substantially 0.01 to substantially 100; b) setting the controller gain as Kc=Ip/K, where Kc is the

I claim: 1. A method of adjusting the performance of a model-free adaptive controller having a delay predictor, comprising the steps of: a) establishing a selectable performance index Ip ranging from substantially 0.01 to substantially 100; b) setting the controller gain as Kc=Ip/K, where Kc is the controller gain, K is the estimated process static gain, and Ip is the selected performance index; and c) setting the controller time constant as Tc=T/Ip, where Tc is the controller time constant, T is the estimated time constant of said delay predictor, and Ip is the selected performance index.
