The extraordinary development of microprocessors and their
extensive use in control systems in all fields of application has
brought about important changes in the design of control systems.
Their performance and low cost make them much more capable, in many
circumstances, than analog controllers.
In order to take full advantage of this potential, Digital
Control Systems demonstrates in detail how to design and implement
high-performance model-based controllers combining system
identification and control design techniques extensively tested in
industrial milieux. The effective use of these techniques is
illustrated in the context of various systems including: d.c.
motors, flexible transmissions, air heaters, distillation columns
and hot-dip galvanizing. Topics covered include:
a [ essentials of computer-based control systems;
a [ controller design methods (robust pole placement,
long-range-predictive control, state space, digital PID, etc.);
a [ system identification techniques;
a [ practical aspects of system identification and digital
control.
A number of recent methodological developments in control design
and system identification, driven by applications, are presented,
including:
a [ robust digital control design using sensitivity function
shaping;
a [ plant identification in closed loop operation;
a [ reduction of controller complexity.
The text of Digital Control Systems is enhanced, for practical
and tutorial purposes, by the use of software which illustrates the
various concepts and algorithms and gives a feeling for the
phenomena, discussed. The MATLABA(R)/Scilab routines used for this
purpose can be downloaded from thetextbooka (TM)s website where
additional material for teaching is available (slide presentations
of the chapter material, data files for additional laboratory
sessions and example files).
Graduate students in courses on digital control will find this
text to be most helpful in learning the essential techniques of
computer-based control while the wealth of additional material will
make the tutora (TM)s tasks of teaching and preparation quicker and
easier. The book also provides practising engineers wishing to
enhance their skills in this area with efficient and co-ordinated
methods for the design and implementation of computer-based
controllers.
