The Time Delay Control with Switching Action (TDCSA) method, which consists of Time Delay Control (TDC) and a switching action of sliding mode control (SMC), has been proposed as a promising technique in the robust control area where the plant has an unknown dynamics with parameter variations and substantial disturbances are preset. When TDCSA is applied to the plant with saturation nonlinearity, however, the so-called windup phenomenon is observed to arise, causing excessive overshoot and instability. The integral element of TDCSA and the saturation element of a plant cause the windup phenomenon. There are two integral effects in TDCSA. One is the integral effect caused by time delay estimation of TDC. The other is the integral term of an integral sliding surface. To solve this problem, we have proposed an anti-windup scheme method for TDCSA. The stability of the overall system has been proved for a class of nonlinear system. Experimental results show that the proposed method overcomes the windup problem of the TDCSA.
