Elements of Control Systems

For courses in Automatic Control, Controls Technology and First Courses in Controls. This sound introduction to control systems technology provides students with a simple approach to the subject that keeps mathematical treatment to a minimum. Addressing fundamental and practical issues relating to control system operation, the material is reinforced through a large number of solved examples using MATLAB. The various types of automatic controllers including On/Off, PID, digital PID and fuzzy controllers and their implementation using op-op-amps and microcontrollers are discussed in detail.
