This study introduces a novel sliding mode controller for unstable systems using a first-order-plus-dead-time model. The controller offers a simple design with tuning equations for predictable performance in linear and nonlinear simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Control Engineering
  • Process Control
  • System Dynamics

Background:

  • Open-loop unstable systems present significant control challenges.
  • Traditional controllers often struggle with the dynamics of first-order-plus-dead-time (FOPDT) processes.
  • Effective control strategies are crucial for maintaining stability and performance in industrial applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a sliding mode controller (SMC) for open-loop unstable systems.
  • To utilize a first-order-plus-dead-time (FOPDT) model as the basis for the controller design.
  • To provide a simple, fixed-structure controller with straightforward tuning for desired performance.

Main Methods:

  • A sliding mode controller was designed based on an FOPDT process model.
