This paper presents a methodology for developing a control oriented model for a hybrid development architecture. The resulting model is suited for multivariable controller design and analysis to stabilize and improve the development process. The proposed methodology extracts relevant characteristics from an experimentally validated complex model based on toner age distribution and development probability. Three lumped state variables are proposed to characterize the macroscopic properties of the process. Ordinary differential equations of the proposed states are then derived to characterize the system dynamics of the process. Simulation results show that, for the properties of interest, the control oriented model yields similar results as the complex model for a wide range of operating conditions. Although the results presented are for a development process, the methodology can also be extended to other xerographic processes.
