Computer-Controlled Systems: Theory and Design

This book provides a balanced survey of theory and practical aspects of computer-controlled systems. Design methods are given substantial coverage. FEATURES: NEW—Reorganized for greater flexibility: the first nine chapters provide enough material for a short course, while more advanced material is left for later chapters. NEW—Earlier introduction to design of digital controllers (Chapter 4). NEW—Implementation moves up to chapter 9 (from Chapter 14). NEW—Pole placement design is discussed before the deeper design issues of Chapter 6, allowing better discussion of control system design. Interactive use of MATLAB and Simulink macros to understand the theory. Extensive pedagogical aids to facilitate understanding. Worked examples. Matlab macros. Problems. Solutions manual. Design methods and practical aspects of computer controlled systems are presented.
