Control of time-delay systems by means of modified smith predictors: A simple matlab toolbox

Abstract

This paper is focused on description of a simple Matlab toolbox for control of time-delay systems by means of modified Smith predictors. More specifically, the program contains three methods, namely modified Smith predictor for unstable and integrating processes with time delay, modified PI-PD Smith predictor for processes with long dead time, and modified Smith predictor design by Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM). The software offers Graphical User Interface (GUI) for convenient controller design with subsequent direct applicability in prepared Simulink schemes. Its capabilities are demonstrated on several simulation examples. The described product is downloadable on the Internet and can be freely used for research and educational purposes. © 2015, North Atlantic University Union NAUN. All rights reserved.
