The aim of this paper is to describe adaptive control of the heating furnace with the utilization of PID type regulator. Advantages of the proposed adaptive regulator are changeable parameters of the system and/or changeable desired quantity of regulation circuit. Proposed adaptive regulator is derived from the commonly known structure of the fuzzy PID regulator which consists of PI regulator and PD regulator. Setting up of the regulator parameters of this structure takes place by the utilization of evolutional methods. Objective function for this optimization is the criterion of regulation quality (quadratic regulation area).

Keywords: Regulator, adaptive regulator, adaptive control, heating furnace, proportional system.
