Discrete Time Systems

The Control Systems Toolbox provides full support for discrete time systems. You can create discrete systems in the same way that you create analog systems; the only difference is that you must specify a sample time period for any model you build. For example,

creates a SISO model in the transfer function format.

Adding Time Delays to Discrete-Time Models

You can add time delays to discrete-time models by specifying an input or output time delay when building the model. The time delay must be a nonnegative integer that represents a multiple of the sampling time. For example,

produces a system with an output delay of 0.05 second.
