In this paper, we examine a design method for a modified Smith predictor for minimum-phase timedelay plants. The modified Smith predictor is well known as an effective time-delay compensator for a plant with large time delays, and several papers on the modified Smith predictor have been published. However, the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors has not been obtained. If this can be obtained, we can express existing proposals for modified Smith predictors in a uniform manner, and the modified Smith predictor can be designed systematically. The purpose of this paper is to propose the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for minimum-phase time-delay plants. The control characteristics of the control system using the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors are also given. Finally, numerical examples for stable plants and unstable plants are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors.

In this paper, we examine a design method for modified Smith predictors for non-minimum-phase time-delay plants with multiple feedback-connected time-delays. The Smith predictor is proposed by Smith to overcome time-delay and known as an effective time-delay compensator for a plant with large time-delay. The Smith predictor by Smith cannot be used for plants having an integral mode, because a step disturbance will result in a steady state error. Several papers considered the problem to design modified Smith predictors for unstable plants. However, no paper examines a design method for modified Smith predictors for non-minimum-phase time-delay plants with multiple feedback-connected time-delays. In this paper, we examine a design method for modified Smith predictors for non-minimum-phase time-delay plants with multiple feedback-connected time-delays.

The modified Smith predictor is well known as an effective time-delay compensator for a plant with large time-delays, and several papers on the modified Smith predictor have been published. The parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for single-input/single-output time-delay plants is obtained by Yamada et al. However, they do not examine the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for multiple-input/multiple-output time-delay plants. The purpose of this paper is to expand the result by Yamada et al. and to propose the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for multiple-input/multiple-output time-delay plants. Control characteristics of the control system using obtained parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors are also given. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of proposed parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors.

The modified Smith predictor is well known as an effective time-delay compensator fora plant with large time-delays, and several papers on the modified Smith predictor have been published.Recently, the parameterization of all stabilizing modified Smith predictors for time-delay plantswas obtained by Yamada et al. But, their method cannot specify the input-output characteristic andthe feedback characteristic separately. From the practical point of view, it is desirable that the inputoutputcharacteristic and the feedback characteristic are specified separately. In this paper, we proposethe parameterization of all stabilizing two-degree-of-freedom modified Smith predictors for multipleinput/multiple-output time-delay plants.
