A multiple process control system testbed which represents Water Distribution System (WDS) consist of multiple water tanks, sensors, actuators, controllers and data acquisition modules is constructed. This testbed is specifically designed for experimental testing of the designed control algorithm and measurement of controller performance. A TCP/IP and serial communication are used for transmission of the control signals and sensors measurement. These communication channels are used to ensure for easy future modification and enhancement as a Network Multi-Agent System (NMAS) using Ethernet and Wi-Fi. The result of System Identification of the testbed is presented using ARX model.
