In this paper, a new variable structure controller is designed for the tracker control of uncertain general plants so that the output of plants can controlled to a given arbitrary point in state space. By using the error between the steady state value of the output and the given reference, the sliding surface is defined, in advance, the surface from an initial state to the given reference without any reaching phase. A corresponding control input to satisfy the existence condition of the sliding mode is suggested to control the output on the predefined surface. Therefore the output controlled by the proposed controller is completely robust and identical to that of the sliding surface. Through an example, the usefulness is verified.
