Modern Control System Theory and Design


Book Description

Offers unified treatment of conventional and modern continuous and discrete control theory and demonstrates how to apply the theory to realistic control system design problems. Along with linear and nonlinear, digital and optimal control systems, it presents four case studies of actual designs. The majority of solutions contained in the book and the problems at the ends of the chapters were generated using the commercial software package, MATLAB, and is available free to the users of the book by returning a postcard contained with the book to the MathWorks, Inc. This software also contains the following features/utilities created to enhance MATLAB and several of the MathWorks' toolboxes: Tutorial File which contains the essentials necessary to understand the MATLAB interface (other books require additional books for full comprehension), Demonstration m-file which gives the users a feel for the various utilities included, OnLine HELP, Synopsis File which reviews and highlights the features of each chapter.

Advanced Topics in Control Systems Theory


Book Description

This book includes selected contributions by lecturers at the third annual Formation d’Automatique de Paris. It provides a well-integrated synthesis of the latest thinking in nonlinear optimal control, observer design, stability analysis and structural properties of linear systems, without the need for an exhaustive literature review. The internationally known contributors to this volume represent many of the most reputable control centers in Europe.




Feedback Control Theory


Book Description

An excellent introduction to feedback control system design, this book offers a theoretical approach that captures the essential issues and can be applied to a wide range of practical problems. Its explorations of recent developments in the field emphasize the relationship of new procedures to classical control theory, with a focus on single input and output systems that keeps concepts accessible to students with limited backgrounds. The text is geared toward a single-semester senior course or a graduate-level class for students of electrical engineering. The opening chapters constitute a basic treatment of feedback design. Topics include a detailed formulation of the control design program, the fundamental issue of performance/stability robustness tradeoff, and the graphical design technique of loopshaping. Subsequent chapters extend the discussion of the loopshaping technique and connect it with notions of optimality. Concluding chapters examine controller design via optimization, offering a mathematical approach that is useful for multivariable systems.

Theory and Design of CNC Systems


Book Description

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) controllers are high value-added products counting for over 30% of the price of machine tools. The development of CNC technology depends on the integration of technologies from many different industries, and requires strategic long-term support. “Theory and Design of CNC Systems” covers the elements of control, the design of control systems, and modern open-architecture control systems. Topics covered include Numerical Control Kernel (NCK) design of CNC, Programmable Logic Control (PLC), and the Man-Machine Interface (MMI), as well as the major modules for the development of conversational programming methods. The concepts and primary elements of STEP-NC are also introduced. A collaboration of several authors with considerable experience in CNC development, education, and research, this highly focused textbook on the principles and development technologies of CNC controllers can also be used as a guide for those working on CNC development in industry.
