Download or read book Control of Dead-time Processes written by Julio E. Normey-Rico and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-14 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text introduces the fundamental techniques for controlling dead-time processes from simple monovariable to complex multivariable cases. Dead-time-process-control problems are studied using classical proportional-integral-differential (PID) control for the simpler examples and dead-time-compensator (DTC) and model predictive control (MPC) methods for progressively more complex ones. Downloadable MATLAB® code makes the examples and ideas more convenient and simpler.
