This paper is concerned with the design of Multi-Inputs and Multi-Outputs (MIMO) predictive PID controllers, which have similar performance to that obtainable from model-based predictive controllers. A new PID control structure is defined which incorporates the prediction of future outputs and uses future set point. A method is proposed to calculate the optimal values of the PID gains from generalised predictive control results. A decentralized version of the predictive PID controllers is presented and the stability of the closed loop system is studied. Simulation studies demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed controller compared with a conventional PID controller. The results are also compared with generalised predictive control solutions.
