I. INTRODUCTION
In control system theory, the use of fractional order
controllers can be considered from two different points
of view. The first one is when a fractional-order controller is used to control a fractional-order plant. This
topic began to receive attention in recent years [15].
It is intuitively true, as also argued in [6,7], that the
fractional order models require much more than classical proportionalintegralderivative (PID) controllers
to achieve good closed loop performance. Control of
fractional order systems by fractional order controllers
can also be viewed as generalization of the non-integer
theory. Secondly, the use of fractional order controllers
is justified because they provide superior performance
[810], it is the most popular case and the literature is
now abundant.
In previous work [11,12], we developed a new structure of fractional controllers to control several integer
or fractional order systems with and without time delay.

II. PRELIMINARY
2.1 Bodes ideal transfer function
Oustaloups research contributions [8,9] with his
well known CRONE controllers have really popularized
fractional control. In the CRONE principle, the closed
loop reference model is given by
f (s) =

R.

When the performance of the closed-loop is specified in the frequency domain, c and are deduced from
the gain crossover frequency c and the phase margin m
by [11,12].

and

The step response of f (s) (when 0 < < 1) is similar to that of an underdamped second-order system for
which the damping ratio is such that (0 < < 1). Some
other useful formulae characterizing the time response of
f (s) are given in [22] where the authors propose a relationship that approximates the percent overshoot denoted
Mp (%), of the step response as a function of fractional
order . However, often it is rather desired to deduce the
value of giving a chosen overshoot of the step response.
We then used the relationship given in [22] to obtain values of the percent overshoot Mp (%) for different values of
between 0 and 1. We then used the function cftools
of Matlab to interpolate the curve giving as a function of the percent overshoot Mp (%). Equation (5) gives
this relationship:
6.75 105 Mp2 + 0.016 Mp + 0.066

Due to the absence of the time-delay in the characteristic equation of the perfect closed-loop, the controller C(s) can be designed with respect to the time-delay
free part of the model regardless of the troublesome
time-delay. Nevertheless, due to the time delay in the
characteristic equation, (14), the design of C(s) becomes
much more complicated. To resolve the robustness

The specifications imposed on the closed-loop system are, on one hand, an overshoot of the step response
around 20%. According to (5), the value of which
achieves this objective is = 0.3875 (we took = 0.4).
On the other hand, to have a good trade-off between performance and robustness [32], we have chosen c = 10
(the value of the system time delay). The controllers thus
obtained are:

V. CONCLUSION
A new Smith predictor and a modified Smith predictor based fractional order controller design schemes
for integer or fractional order systems with long time
delay are proposed. Based on the Bodes ideal transfer function and design using the internal model control
method, the proposed fractional order controller has a
very interesting structure for its implementation. Indeed,
the controller obtained is a fractional integrator cascaded
with an integer PID or a FO-PID controller. Two important advantages of the new scheme are that the process
to be controlled can be integer or fractional, and the
fractional integrator parameters are those of the closed
loop reference model. Another important merit of the
proposed method is that the response of the closed loop
