Control System Design Guide: Using Your Computer to Understand and Diagnose Feedback Controllers, 4/e (Paperback)

Control Systems Design Guide has helped thousands of engineers to improve machine performance. This fourth edition of the practical guide has been updated with cutting-edge control design scenarios, models and simulations enabling apps from battlebots to solar collectors.

This useful reference enhances coverage of practical applications via the inclusion of new control system models, troubleshooting tips, and expanded coverage of complex systems requirements, such as increased speed, precision and remote capabilities, bridging the gap between the complex, math-heavy control theory taught in formal courses, and the efficient implementation required in real industry settings.

George Ellis is Director of Technology Planning and Chief Engineer of Servo Systems at Kollmorgen Corporation, a leading provider of motion systems and components for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) around the globe. He has designed an applied motion control systems professionally for over 30 years He has written two well-respected books with Academic Press, Observers in Control Systems and Control System Design Guide, now in its fourth edition. He has contributed articles on the application of controls to numerous magazines, including Machine Design, Control Engineering, Motion Systems Design, Power Control and Intelligent Motion, and Electronic Design News.

• Explains how to model machines and processes, including how to measure working equipment, with an intuitive approach that avoids complex math
• Includes coverage on the interface between control systems and digital processors, reflecting the reality that most motion systems are now designed with PC software
• Of particular interest to the practicing engineer is the addition of new material on real-time, remote and networked control systems
• Teaches how control systems work at an intuitive level, including how to measure, model, and diagnose problems, all without the unnecessary math so common in this field
• Principles are taught in plain language and then demonstrated with dozens of software models so the reader fully comprehend the material (The models and software to replicate all material in the book is provided without charge by the author at www.QxDesign.com)
• New material includes practical uses of Rapid Control Prototypes (RCP) including extensive examples using National Instruments LabVIEW

《控制系統設計指南》幫助了成千上萬的工程師提升機器性能。這本實用指南的第四版已更新了最新的控制設計場景、模型和模擬，使得從戰鬥機器人到太陽能收集器的應用成為可能。

這本有用的參考書通過新增控制系統模型、故障排除技巧和對複雜系統需求（如提高速度、精度和遠程能力）的擴展覆蓋範圍，增強了對實際應用的涵蓋。它填補了在正式課程中教授的複雜、數學密集的控制理論與實際工業環境中所需的高效實施之間的差距。

喬治·埃利斯（George Ellis）是科爾莫根公司（Kollmorgen Corporation）的技術規劃總監和伺服系統首席工程師，該公司是全球領先的原始設備製造商（OEM）的運動系統和零部件供應商。他在專業領域設計應用運動控制系統已有30多年的經驗。他與學術出版社（Academic Press）合作撰寫了兩本備受推崇的書籍，《控制系統觀測器》和《控制系統設計指南》，現已出版第四版。他還為許多雜誌撰寫了有關控制應用的文章，包括《機械設計》、《控制工程》、《運動系統設計》、《電力控制和智能運動》和《電子設計新聞》。
