When control engineering is first approached, no matter what the ultimate application, a certain amount of background theory must be grasped to make sense of the topic. To meet this general need the author presents the basic principles in a clear and accessible way, along with plenty of examples and assessment questions.
* Offers control principles without details of instrumentation* Features worked examples, assessment questions and practical tasks* Includes introduction to control engineering software
Higher Nationals students in Plant & Process Control. Higher Nationals students taking control option in mechanical or electronic engineering; first year undergraduates in control engineering, or those taking a control option as part of other engineering courses.
Introduction.The transfer function.Block diagram analysis.Frequency response methods.The Bode plot.Compensation.Introduction to computer methods.Control engineering mathematics.Time response.Polar zero analysis.Worked examples.Index.
