Digital Control of Dynamic Systems

by Gene F. Franklin, J. David Powell, Michael L. Workman

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 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. Two new chapters have been added to the third edition offering a review of feedback control systems and an overview of digital control systems. Updated to be fully compatible with MATLAB versions 4 and 5, the text thoroughly integrates MATLAB statements and problems to offer readers a complete design picture. The new edition contains up-to-date material on state-space design and twice as many end-of-chapter problems to give students more opportunities to practice the material.

[Joe Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

This thick book, when it comes to determining the stability of a characteristic polynomial in the z variable, just says that the bilinear transformation can be used in conjunction with the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Besides, it provides insight for understanding real systems along with Matlab examples and good problems
