In this paper, an improved version of online continuation method controller for PWM systems is presented. The online continuation method controller solves the PWM‐type deadbeat control problem numerically. By using this algorithm, iterations for solving the set of nonlinear equations always start from a good solution candidate and therefore it can be used online. The original continuation method is modified so that it is applicable to real systems. The validity of the proposed control method is demonstrated by a laboratory‐scale flexible arm manipulator.
