Time Delay Controller (TDC) is a model following controller which uses input and output values and state variables to estimate additional quantity of dynamics due to external disturbances and/or model parameters variation at some past instant. TDC is very robust against parametric uncertainty while it is not robust against unmodeled dynamics even showing instability. To solve this problem a stability analysis is performed am a compensation technique using reduced order observer, Anti-Filtering Compensator (AFC), is proposed for a case in which the high order known dynamics is deliberately ignored. If the ignored dynamics causes instability of the TDC control system, AFC is shown to be indispensible for a stable implementation of TDC.
