In this paper, a discrete-time internal model control (IMC) approach to control the nonlinear systems described by pseudo-Hammerstein model with backlash is presented. In this method, the design strategy for discrete-time control is implemented by introducing the inverse function of pseudo-Hammerstein model with backlash. Moreover, the design of the filters to guarantee the robustness of the control system will be discussed. Finally, the simulation results are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
