# MPC Configurator Skill

## Purpose

The MPC Configurator Skill supports Model Predictive Control implementation including model identification, controller configuration, and performance tuning.

## Capabilities

- Step test design and execution
- Dynamic model identification
- MPC model validation
- CV/MV/DV selection
- Constraint configuration
- Objective function tuning
- Prediction/control horizon selection
- Move suppression tuning
- Performance monitoring
