Abstract: A simple and practical double-controller scheme is proposed for industrial processes with dominant delay. It contains two separate controllers, a set-point controller and a load controller. The set-point response of the closed-loop system is then decoupled from the load response. As a result, the two controllers can be separately designed to obtain good performance in both set-point tracking and load rejections. The double-controller scheme is model based. It is, however, insensitive to the process model ,resulting in good system robustness. The two controllers are taken to be proportional-integral(PI)type for simplicity. Tuning procedures of the two controllers are also presented.
