Abstract
A large number of applications of generic model control (GMC) have bee n published in the literature. However, an overview of the potential d ifficulties in implementation has not been provided. This paper evalua tes the basic GMC algorithm when applied to single input single output linear processes and provides insight regarding its limitation to ens ure robust stability. The effect of sampling time on the reference tra jectory for discrete systems is analyzed in order to avoid unstable re sponses for perfect models. Finally, a predictive GMC is developed to handle models with dead time in a reliable way.
