A Design Method for Stabilizing Modified Smith Predictors for Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output Time-Delay 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. 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.
