This study proposes a data-driven approach for controlling a dual-rate sampled-data system using the lifting technique, where the sampling interval of the plant output is longer than the holding interval of the control input. In the proposed method, the structure of the dual-rate controller is linearized to its controller parameter, and the controller parameter is optimized using noniterative correlation-based tuning. Furthermore, intersample ripples are eliminated because the difference in the control inputs between sampled outputs is weighted. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical and experimental examples.

The aim of the present study is to improve the understanding of the control engineering for university students through the experience of the control experiment, and hence an experimental device is developed. The students are educated the control engineering using the device, and the educational effect is evaluated. In the present study, the students take examinations for the control engineering before and after the experiment, and the effect is evaluated objectively.
