ABSTRACT: One of the possible approaches to control of dead-time processes is application of predictive control methods. In technical practice often occur higher order processes when a design of an optimal controller leads to complicated control algorithms. One of the possibilities of control of such processes is their approximation by lower-order model with dead-time (time-delay). The first part of the paper deals with a design of an algorithm for predictive control of high-order processes which are approximated by a second-order model of the process with time-delay. The second part of the paper deals with a design of an analogical algorithm for predictive control of multivariable processes with time-delay. The predictive controllers are based on the recursive computation of predictions which was extended for the time-delay system. The designed control algorithms were verified by simulation.
