Embedded Control Systems

by Jim Ledin

Embedded Control SystemsImplement validated design techniques for control systems without learning advanced mathematics. This book provides appropriate control system design techniques through an efficient, step-by-step approach to readers of all levels. By omitting the derivation of mathematical formulas, developers without background knowledge of control system engineering can easily access these techniques. For advanced techniques, this book covers how to use MATLAB and its toolbox. Using the methods introduced in this book, developers of embedded systems can design control systems with good performance characteristics. You will be able to do it. In order to make it easier for readers who do not have background knowledge on control theory to easily access the contents of a book, the derivation of mathematical formulas is omitted, and the book covers the tuning process through iterative experimentation as well as the advanced optimal control algorithm.Advanced algorithms show how to apply the most appropriate control system design software, MATLAB and MATLABs Toolbox. Toolbox is an add-on to MATLAB that extends the capabilities of MATLAB for specific purposes. The Toolbox to be covered here is the Control System Toolbox, and the System Identification Toolbox and other toolboxes, including Simulink and SimMechanics.
