Digital Control Applications Illustrated with MATLAB

Digital Control Applications Illustrated with MATLAB® covers the modeling, analysis, and design of linear discrete control systems. Illustrating all topics using the micro-computer implementation of digital controllers aided by MATLAB®, Simulink®, and FEEDBACK<<®, this practical text:Describes the process of digital control, followed by a review of Z-transforms, feedback control concepts, and s-to-z plane conversions, mappings, signal sampling, and data reconstructionPresents mathematical representations of discrete systems affected by the use of advances in computing methodologies and the advent of computersDemonstrates state-space representations and the construction of transfer functions and their corresponding discrete equivalentsExplores steady-state and transient response analysis using Root-Locus, as well as frequency response plots and digital controller design using Bode PlotsExplains the design approach, related design processes, and how to evaluate performance criteria through simulations and the review of classical designsStudies advances in the design of compensators using the discrete equivalent and elucidates stability tests using transformationsEmploys test cases, real-life examples, and drill problems to provide students with hands-on experience suitable for entry-level jobs in the industryDigital Control Applications Illustrated with MATLAB® is an ideal textbook for digital control courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level.
