Automatic Control Systems

The best general book about control engineering


Real-world applications--Integrates real-world analysis and design applications throughout the text. Examples include: the sun-seeker system, the liquid-level control, dc-motor control, and space-vehicle payload control.
- Examples and problems--Includes an abundance of illustrative examples and problems.
- Marginal notes throughout the text highlight important points.
Key Benefit: This comprehensive, easy to read classic introduction to Automatic Control Systems has been updated to reflect the increasing use of computer-aided learning and design. It si designed for self study. Key Topics: Demonstrates the solution of complex problems with the aid of computer software. Provides a thorough discussion of steady-state error analysis, including nonunity-feedback systems. Adds a chapter on Design of Discrete-Data Control Systems.
