Description
New Age International (P) Ltd Publishers Digital Control Engineering 2Nd Edition 2014 by Gopal, Madan
Recent developments in LSI technology and the consequent availability of inexpensive microprocessors, memory chips and analog-to-digital converters have made it possible to use computers as integral part of control systems. This book presents control theory that is relevant to the analysis and design of computer-controlled systems.
Among its features, the book:
contains appendices that summarize the relevant background material;
summarizes the theoretical and practical aspects of a large class of transform-domain and state-space design algorithms;
describes the background to many current approaches to self-tuning control;
includes a computer-aided-design package;
discusses basic characteristics of stepping motors and their associated drives;
presents important hardware and software aspects of implementation of digital control algorithms using microprocessors;
includes three case studies on microprocessor-based control.
