Adaptive digital Smith predictor

Abstract

Time-delays (dead times) are found in many processes in industry. Time-delays are mainly caused by the time required to transport mass, energy or information, but they can also be caused by processing time or accumulation. The contribution is focused on a design of algorithms for adaptive digital control for processes with time-delay. The algorithm is based on pole assignment approach. The program system MATLAB/SIMULINK was used for simulation verification of these algorithms.
