New features and changes introduced in this version are:

New Option for Specifying Time-Varying Constraints

You can now configure the Model Predictive Controller block in Simulink® to accept time-varying constraint signals that are generated by other blocks. To add inports to which you can connect time-varying constraint specifications, select the new Enable input port for input and output limits check box in the MPC Controller block. See also the mpcvarbounds demo.

In the previous version, you could only specify the constraints during the design phase and these contraints remained constant for the duration of the simulation.

For more information about the new Enable input port for input and output limits check box in the Model Predictive Controller block, see the MPC Controller block reference page.

Ability to Specify Nondiagonal Q and R Weight Matrices in the Cost Function

You can now specify off-diagonal weights in the cost function. In the previous release, only diagonal Q and R matrices were supported.

To learn more about specifying off-diagonal weights, see the discussion about weights in the MPC Controller block reference pages.

To access a new demo that shows how to use nondiagonal weight matrices, type the following command at the MATLAB prompt:
