  • Patent number: 4446409
    Abstract: An improved electronic control system employs a primary servomechanism loop which includes an error signalling difference node and a stability compensating forward gain/drive element intermediate an input command signal source and a controlled output element. A second, similar image feed back loop is operative upon a simulated representation of the controlled output element or plant, and is exercised by the input command source. The error node in the second image loop generates a loop error signal responsive to the difference between the input command and the simulated, predicted response for the controlled element.In accordance with the present invention, the two error signals produced by the actual and image feed back loops are compared and generate a supplementary feed back signal which is summed with the plant-driving signal applied to the controlled element.
