Abstract

The article brings a brief revision of the two-degree-of-freedom (2-DoF) internal model control (IMC) and the 2-DoF Smith-Predictor-based (SP) control of unstable systems. It shows that the first important reason for distinguishing between these approaches is the limitations of the control action. However, it also reminds that, in addition to the seemingly lucrative dynamics of transients, the proposed approaches can conceal a tricky behavior with a structural instability, which may manifest itself only after a longer period of time. Instead, as one of possible reliable alternatives, two-step IMC and filtered Smith predictor (FSP) design are applied to unstable first-order time-delayed (UFOTD) systems. Firstly, the 2-DoF P controller yielding a double real dominant closed loop pole is applied. Only then the 2-DoF IMC or FSP controllers are designed, providing slightly slower, but more robust transients. These remain stable even in the long run, while also showing increased robustness.
