Abstract: In many Industries, the fault tolerant control scheme have been accepted and used from many decades. In this paper, the observer and the observer based Controller is designed for the three tank interacting system. Initially in this work, the three tank interacting system with Single Input Single Output configuration is modeled and conventional PID controller has been implemented, finally the performances are analyzed. Then the observer is designed for the three tank interacting system. In order to design the observer based controller, the control law and the feed forward gain value is calculated and described by Chakrabarti A et al.[4]. Finally the observer based controller performances are also analyzed. In this work, the sensor is replaced by the state observer. The observer based controller provides better performance than the conventional PID controller. This work may lead to design fault tolerant control for three tank interacting system in future.
