Popis: The proposed practice-oriented controller design (POCD) aims at stabilizing the system, reconstructing and compensating for disturbances while achieving fast and smooth step responses. This is achieved through a simple approach to process identification and controller tuning that takes into account control signal constraints and measurement noise. The proposed method utilizes POCD by eliminating the influence of the unstable zero dynamics of the inverse-response processes, which limits the achievable performance. It extends the previous work on PI and PID controllers to higher-order (HO) automatic reset controllers (ARCs) with low-pass filters. It is also extended according to POCD requirements while maintaining the simplified process model. The final result is an extremely simple design for a constrained controller that provides sufficiently smooth and robust responses to a wide family of HO-ARCs with odd derivatives, designed using integral plus dead time (IPDT) models and tuned by the multiple real dominant pole method (MRDP) and the circle criterion of absolute stability. The proposed design can be considered as a generalization of the Ziegler and Nichols step response method for inverse response processes and HO-ARCs.
