Pricing & Availability: Additional Details: Product Type: Book Publisher: Academic Press Description: Control System Design Guide, 2E will allow engineers and hobbyists to apply control theory to practical systems using your PC. This book provides an intuitive approach to controls, avoiding unnecessary math and emphasizing key concepts with more than a dozen control system models. Control System Design Guide is written for engineers and technicians that want to improve their machines and processes. Whether you are just starting to use controllers or have years of experience, Control System Design Guide will walk you through control system theory with a well-founded, clear approach that is focused on making your system work better. * Teaches control from an intuitive approach; avoids unnecessary mathematics* Based on virtual laboratory--key topics are demonstrated with over a dozen models of control systems * The models are written in ModelQ, and can be run on software available free of charge via the Internet to every reader with a PC* Goes beyond proportional-integral-differential (PID) control* Provides detailed comparison of seven different controllers* Explains how to model machines and processes including how to measure working equipment; describes many non-linear behaviors seen in industrial control systems* Provides discussion of electronic motion control including details on how motors and motor feedback devices work, causes and cures mechanical resonance, and shows how position loops work
