Title: ICAI - A MATLAB Toolbox for Industrial Computer Aided Identification
Abstract: The Industrial Computer Aided Identification (ICAI) toolbox for MATLAB/ SIMULINK™ is especially aimed at industrial users like process engineers or commissioners who are not necessarily specialists in identification. In this paper the integration of the identification functionality into a blockoriented simulation environment by means of the ICAI toolbox is described. For SIMULINK™, i.e. MATLAB™’s simulation environment, ICAI identification blocks have been programmed, which can be handled intuitively like other SIMULINK™ function blocks supporting a guided tour to identification based on the simplified use of advanced identification methods and an ergonomically designed graphical user interface (GUI). Future extensions of the toolbox will allow identification of even nonlinear MIMО process models by making use of a set of standard structures automatically generated utilising ICAI MIMO identification blocks.
