Abstract :
A computer control system simulation method utilizing two computers is presented. One is a control computer operating under almost actual conditions. The other is a multiprogrammed computer that simulates the plant. The time taken by the control computer to compute the control variables can be a function of the plant state. An optimum control example illustrating the application of the method is given.
