Abstract

Control method and apparatus for a moveable control member with n observed states, the apparatus incorporating a sliding mode control system, operable to maintain the state point of the moveable member on a predetermined hyperplane having n-1 dimensions, and comprising digital processor means operable to reference, at a first frequency, n-1 low order observed states to the predetermined hyperplane to establish a desired value of the highest order observed state, the control system further comprising comparator means operable to compare, at a second frequency, said desired value with the observed highest order state, the first frequency being less than the second frequency, and means responsive to the comparator means and operable to implement the control action necessary to maintain the state point on the predetermined hyperplane.
