Abstract :
Structural controllability is an important consideration in the synthesis of control systems. In this paper, the concept of output structural controllability is introduced and the condition for output structural controllability is proposed. Based on this condition, a new approach to the synthesis of control structures is described. The ease and flexibility of the output structural controllability condition in the synthesis of control systems for chemical plants is demonstrated.
