Valve stiction may cause oscillations in control loops which increases variability in product quality, accelerates equipment wear and tear, or leads to system instability. In this paper, a series-parallel Recurrent Neural Network (NARXSP)-based stiction model is developed and its robustness against the uncertainty in the stiction parameters is tested under various conditions. It is shown that the NARXSP-based stiction model is robust when the stiction is less than 6 of the valve travel span. © 2009 IEEE.
