A terminal iterative learning control (ILC) strategy for batch-to-batch and within-batch controlof final product properties, based on empirical partial least squares (PLS) models, is presented.The strategy rejects persistent process disturbances and achieves new final product qualitytargets using an iterative procedure that works in the reduced space of a latent variable modelrather than in the high dimensional space of the manipulated variable trajectories. Completemanipulated variable trajectory reconstruction is then achieved by exploiting the PLS model ofthe process. The approach is illustrated with a condensation polymerization example for theproduction of nylon.
