Automatic tuning of a dead-time compensator for stable, integrative and unstable processes

This work proposes a method of automatic tuning for a dead-time compensator that can cope with stable, integrative and unstable process. At first, a identification method is devised and then simple tuning rules are defined to retune the controller. Furthermore, a performance assessment procedure is presented. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.
