AbstractThis research study has developed a control methodology founded on the knowledge- based approach . It is a non- numerical technique which uses two levels of different knowledge-bases. The shallow knowledge which is the first level, is represented by a set of rules. It is used to select a proper control action. The rules are based both on the experience knowledge a nd predictive knowledge , obtained from qualitative reasoning . The second level is deep knowledge. This is represented by qualitative models. It is used to predict and explain the behavior of the plant. Qualitative mode l are based on qualitative physics, obtained from the model differential equation of the plant. The controller uses measurement and current conditions in state space , defined by t he error level of tank2, a nd the rate of changes of level of t an k2 . The state variable has three values ; + , 0, - a nd two additional variables; more positive ( ++ ) and more negative (- - ) . Th e system is verified a nd demonstrated by a coupled tanks ยท plant, where fourth border Runge-Kutta simulation method is implemented . Some experiments are carried out to measure the performance of the system such as stability and time response.
