Sumario:[EN] This article presents a synthesis of the varios initiatives undertaken to implement predictive control (MPC) in programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It is based on an analysis of the accumulated experience, MPC algorithms employed, optimisation methods utilised, process systems considered and the programming standards and commercial brands of PLC devices used. The studies demonstrate the feasibility of implementing classical MPC algorithms in conjunction with optimisation methods in an embedded form. It is particularly noteworthy that optimisation algorithms such as the Hildreth method and simplified qpOASES have been demostrated to be both efficient and codable in accordance with the IEC 61131-3 standard, which is widely utilised in these devices. Furthemore, studies emphasise the necessity to reduce memory and computational calculation requirements, which enables the scaling of these algorithms from hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulations and laboratory-scale processes to industrial plants. Trends indicate a shift towards simplifying the utilisation of computational resources in PLCs, enhancing MPC and optimisation algorithms, and integrating these algorithms into modern internet-of-things-based devices (PLCs-IoT)
