Abstract

The aim of the design method is to find a dynamic compensator that gives a “basically non-interactive” closed-loop performance for more than one model, representing different versions of the same plant. In a decoupled closed-loop behaviour outputs respond with small position offset to the corresponding input demand and with small interaction to the others. The idea is to construct a nominal diagonal model, which does not necessarily belong to the family of models, and then to consider the given members as deviations around it. If the sought precompensator is specified to have a diagonal structure, the design can be split into a number of independent scalar loop designs which are easily carried out. An extension to include precompensators with a full structure is also discussed.
