In my bachelor thesis (Computer Science) I was analyzing the problem of MFC control systems, especially I was interested in hybrid MFC/IMC (Model Following Control/Internal Model Control) system and its application in practice.
If you are more interested in the hybrid MFC/IMC control system, B&R PLC's, methods of rapid prototyping, results of my bachelor thesis etc. check my PREZI:
In this thesis I used very interesting tool - B&R Target for Simulink that generates programmes, libraries and block functions in C code from Simulink model. Next, these C-libraries you can trasfer into your Automation Studio project and e.g. simulate your model in real time on PLC or control any plant by a control system created in Simulink. This technology is called rapid prototyping. More information you can find here:
