This well-respected, market-leading text discusses the use of digital computers in the real-time control of dynamic systems. The emphasis is on the design of digital controls that achieve good dynamic response and small errors while using signals that are sampled in time and quantized in amplitude. Both transform-based and state-based classical and modern control methods are described and applied to illustrative examples. The strengths and limitations of each method are explored to help the reader develop solid designs with the least effort.
The Third Edition includes two chapters which offer a review of feedback control systems and an overview of digital control. eEdition-2 of the Third Edition is the same as eEdition-1, except the composition has been compressed in order to improve the quality of the typesetting, save pages, and reduce the memory storage required, and the Table of Contents and the Index have been revised to reflect the new pagination.
MATLAB is thoroughly integrated into the text, in exposition and in problems, to offer readers a complete design picture. The e-Edition-2 of the Third Edition has been updated to be fully compatible with current MATLAB versions as of 2022 and includes twice as many end-of-chapter problems as the previous, printed, Second Edition.
This 2022 PDF e-Edition-2 supersedes all prior printings of the Third Edition of Digital Control of Dynamic Systems, and includes updates to key items and corrections for all known errors found in previous printings.
