Simplified filtered Smith predictor for high-order dead-time processes.

This paper proposes a control structure suitable for high-order non-minimum phase (NMP) processes. In general, dead-time compensators (DTCs) firstly predict the process output with zero error at a steady-state and then a primary controller with an integrator is designed based on the delay-free model. The main advantage of the proposed structure is that the primary controller is only a state feedback gain with no integrators. This leads to fewer parameters to tune and lower order filters, while a robustness filter is used to reject disturbances and guarantee zero error at a steady state. Simulation results show better or equivalent performance compared to other recently published works, even kept the controller design simplicity.
