Abstract: This article aims at a new partial least squares (PLS) control design and analysis in a data-driven framework for nonlinear multivariable processes whose mechanistic models are completely unknown. First, a general nonlinear autoregressive moving average with the exogenous input (NARMAX) model is used as the dynamic nonlinear PLS model. Then, by introducing a dynamic linearisation approach in each latent variable (LV) space, the unknown NARMAX-based PLS model is transformed to a linear dynamic PLS data model (dPLSDM), which can be improved in real time by estimating its unknown parameter using the latent input and output (I/O) data. Next, a data-driven latent variable adaptive control (DDLVAC) is proposed in each LV loop. By virtue of the dPLSDM, the multivariable nonlinear process is decoupled into multiple single-loop systems and the high dimensions of the process data are reduced such that the corresponding DDLVAC is simplified. Further, the DDLVAC only depends on the I/O data without requiring any model information of the original process. Theoretical analysis confirms the validity of the DDLVAC. The simulation study demonstrates the advantages of the DDLVAC such as less storage space, smaller computation burden, less control cost, as well as more robustness against uncertainties.
