Abstract
This paper discusses a novel method for variable structure control. The method aims to create and maintain a predefined sliding motion in the phase space by adjusting the parameters of an ADALINE-type controller. The objective of the paper is to demonstrate that the task can be achieved under the assumption that the plant under control could be driven towards the sliding manifold. The approach presented assumes the structure of the dynamic representation of the plant is known but the analytical details embodying it are unavailable. The results obtained confirm the prescribed form of tracking claim together with low computational cost due to the adjustment of the controller parameters.
