The quadruple-tank process has been widely used in control literature to illustrate many concepts in multivariable control, particularly, performance limitations due to multivariable right half-plane zeros. The main feature of the quadruple-tank process is the flexibility in positioning one of its multivariable zeros on either half of the ‘s’ plane. The objective of the current study is to design a Decentralized fuzzy controller for a multivariable laboratory four-tank process. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control methodology
