Abstract: A new control strategy is proposed for typical second-order integrating plants with delay in industry according to the internal model control principle.In the structure，the expected set point following characteristics is obtained by reference model，good disturbance rejection characteristics and robust stability of system can be achieved.Good performance of both set-point tracking and disturbance rejection characteristics can be achieved simultaneously by the adjustment of the reference model and internal model controller parameters.The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.
