An algebraic model for interconnected dynamic systems with dead time is proposed. The model structure separates the system dynamics and connections into two sets of equations in which the dynamic equation is invariant under changes in system interconnections. Useful properties of the characteristic connection matrix of the resulting model are illustrated through applications of the theoretical results for feedback connections and for model inversion. It is shown that the former can guide the design of control structures in industrial plants before modelling their dynamics whilst the latter can optimize block diagram connections to ensure causal dynamic blocks where possible.
