Publisher's Synopsis
This study of computer-controlled systems has been designed to familiarize students and control engineers with digital-control aspects, techniques and requirements. It provides elements of self-tuning regulators and simulation software needed for ST implementation. It provides extensive s,z,z, time transform tables which are essential for any practical work. It also gives a top-to-bottom analysis of the design procedures for single-input-single-output and multi-input-multi-output systems, optimal and implicitly self-tuning control, concepts of controllability and observability, as well as the design of both full and reduced order observers.;A broad overview, the book contains an introduction to the practical aspects of the control computer usage for control purposes, interfacing and implementation problems and limitations. It includes discrete and state space design techniques, with necessary mathematical introductions at appropriate appendices.
