INTERACTIVE TOOL FOR ANALYSIS OF TIME-DELAY SYSTEMS WITH DEAD-TIME COMPENSATORS

This paper presents an interactive tool which allows to study the problem of systems with large delays. The developed tool provides several examples in order to compare PI control and Smith Predictor (SP) approaches for processes with delay. Robustness problems due to presence of model uncertainties can also be studied, as well as other control structures to face the different problems that the original Smith Predictor has with integrator and unstable processes.
