To guarantee the control performance of the discrete system under unmeasurable state and partial actuator failure, a robust dynamic output feedback predictive fault-tolerant control method derived from switching strategy is developed. A new iterative error switching model is established, which both ensures tracking performance and lays the foundation for the development of the next switching controller. Based on this model, output feedback switching fault-tolerant controller is developed. Compared with conventional fault-tolerant control methods, the designed controller can be used under the case of unmeasurable states, and it is more fault tolerant and less conservative. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, the robust stability analysis is carried out under normal and fault conditions, respectively. Then, depending on the findings of the stability analysis, sufficient conditions to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop normal and faulty system are derived. Finally, the suggested method's efficacy is confirmed using the injection moulding process as an example.
