QP_UPDATE – Update matrices/vectors of quadratic programming

Block SymbolLicensing group: ADVANCED

Function Description
The QP_UPDATE function block cooperates with the QP_MPC2QP block which converts the MPC problem described by equations (15.7)–(15.10) with prediction horizon $n_{p}$ and control horizon $n_{c}$ (inputs np and nc), to quadratic programming and pre-computes the Hessian matrix $H$ , parts of the gradient vector $G_{x}$ , $G_{v}$ , $G_{w}$ , matrices determining state constraints $S_{u} L$ , $S_{v}$ , $T$ , and matrices determining output constraints $S_{c u} L$ , $S_{c v}$ , $T_{c}$ . Besides the constant Hessian matrix $H$ , the other vectors and matrices are connected to input references uGx, uGv, uGw, uSuL, uSv, uT, uScuL, uScv and uTc.

For detailed information, see the PDF version of this manual.

The output references yx0, yxmin, yxmax, yymin, yymax,yV, yGx, yGv, yGw, ySuL, ySv, yT, yScuL, yScv, yTc, yG, yCA, yLBA and yUBA are always set to the corresponding input ux0, uxmin, uxmax, uymin, uymax,uV, uGx, uGv, uGw, uSuL, uSv, uT, uScuL, uScv, uTc, uG, uCA, uLBA and yUBA.

If HLD = on then nothing is computed.

The error flag E is set to on if:

the prediction horizon np < 1 or control horizon nc < 1, or nc > np,
the reference ux0 is not defined or the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64),
the internal variable bStateConstr = on and at least one of the references uxmin, uxmax is not defined, or the element type of at least one of the arrays they reference is not Double (F64),
the internal variable bOutputConstr = on and the reference uymin is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64),
the internal variable bOutputConstr = on and the reference uymax is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64),
the reference uV is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64),
the reference uG is defined and at least one of the references uGx, uGv, uSuL, uSv or uT is not defined,
the reference uG is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64), or the reference uGx is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64), or the reference uGv is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64), or the reference uGw is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64),
the reference uSuL is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64), or the reference uSv is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64), or the reference uT is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64),
the reference uScuL is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64), or the reference uScv is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64), or the reference uTc is defined and the element type of the array it references is not Double (F64),
the reference uCA or uLBA or uUBA or the element type of at least one of the arrays they reference is not Double (F64),
the arrays referenced by defined references are too small or have incompatible dimensions.

If E = on, see the system log for details.
