The design and implementation of a predictive/adaptive control system is presented, using neural engineering techniques to control a non-linear MIMO system in order to control, at a later stage, the temperature and level in a non-linear conical plant. Preliminarily, conventional control structures were tested, which gave rise to the need to test intelligent control structures that allow the control objectives to be met more effectively. The process begins with the experimentation of different neuronal control structures, and then escalates to a predictive/adaptive neuronal control system. The results achieved at the simulation level, testing the proposed design on mathematical models of non-linear MIMO systems, were satisfactory and met the control objectives established, therefore, in the next stage of the project, the experimentation is estimated in the real plant under study.
