Abstract

Guidelines are presented for specifying the design parameters of multi-level pseudo-random sequences in a manner useful for `plant-friendly' nonlinear system identification. These multi-level signals are introduced into a Rapid Thermal Processing wafer reactor simulation and compared against a well-designed pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS). The resulting data serves as a database for a `Model on Demand' (MoD) predictor. MoD estimation is attractive because it requires less engineering effort to model a nonlinear plant, compared to global nonlinear models such as neural networks. The improved fit of multi-level signals over the PRBS signal, as well as the usefulness of the MoD estimator, is demonstrated on validation data.
