The effect of the delay is similar to derivative feedback in modifying the behavior of the system. Results are given on the selection of the controller parameters both in the absence and the presence of additional delay ill the feedback path. The timelag position feedback is shown to compare favorably with the conventional PD controller in terms of stability. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
