SCILAB compatible software for analysis and control of repetitive processes

In this paper the development of a SCILAB compatible software package for the analysis and control of repetitive processes is described. The core of the package consists of a simulation tool which enables the user to inspect the process dynamics with or without control laws applied. Reliable and numerically efficient algorithms for stability analysis and the control law design have been included. Illustrative examples are also given and areas of ongoing development is discussed.
