Control System Design Guide: Using Your Computer to Understand and Diagnose Feedback Controllers

To help control system designers improve their processes and machines, Ellis discusses topics ranging from the very concrete: techniques to improve a facet of operation such as making the system faster or more accurate; to the very abstract: methods of analysis. He intends readers to understand the principles well enough that they can adapt and apply them to their own needs. Examples, illustrations, and simulations demonstrate key points. The 1991 edition is updated to recognize the proliferation of control systems, and the shift from DOS to Windows tools. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
