Chapter 7. Tuning and Synthesis of 1DF IMC for Uncertain Processes

Objectives of the Chapter

  • Introduce the concept of process uncertainty and explore its effect on IMC system stability and performance.

  • Present a tuning method for adjusting the IMC filter time constant that accomplishes a desired relative stability for all processes in a predefined uncertainty set.

  • Explore the effect of uncertainty on controller design and model selection.
