Area of Science:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Control Systems

Background:

  • First-order-plus-deadtime (FOPDT) models are common in process control.
  • Designing controllers for nonlinear systems presents challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel sliding mode controller design method.
  • To create a fixed-structure controller with straightforward tuning.

Main Methods:

  • The controller design is based on a first-order-plus-deadtime (FOPDT) process model.
  • Tuning equations are derived as a function of the FOPDT model's characteristic parameters.

Main Results:

  • A fixed-structure sliding mode controller was successfully designed.
  • Simulations on two nonlinear chemical processes demonstrated effective controller performance.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed approach offers a systematic way to design sliding mode controllers for FOPDT processes.
  • The method is suitable for controlling nonlinear chemical systems.
