Digital sliding mode control design based on I/O models of nonlinear plants

Abstract

The paper deals with the design of digital sliding mode controllers using only input and output sequences of plant. Two approaches are considered. The first one is based on the sliding mode based generalized minimum variance control implemented on the linearized plant model, whereas the second one utilizes the similar idea from the previous method modified for and applied on the discrete-time nonlinear model of the plant. The proposed algorithms are presented and tested by digital simulation on an example of inverted pendulum control
