EMBEDDED DIGITAL CONTROL WITH MICROCONTROLLERS Explore a concise and practical introduction to implementation methods and the theory of digital control systems on microcontrollers Embedded Digital Control with Microcontrollers delivers expert instruction in digital control system implementation techniques on the widely used ARM Cortex-M microcontroller. The accomplished authors present the included information in three phases. First, they describe how to implement prototype digital control systems via the Python programming language in order to help the reader better understand theoretical digital control concepts. Second, the book offers readers direction on using the C programming language to implement digital control systems on actual microcontrollers. This will allow readers to solve real-life problems involving digital control, robotics, and mechatronics. Finally, readers will learn how to merge the theoretical and practical issues discussed in the book by implementing digital control systems in real-life applications. Throughout the book, the application of digital control systems using the Python programming language ensures the reader can apply the theory contained within. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to the hardware used in the book, including STM32 Nucleo Development Boards and motor drive expansion boards An exploration of the software used in the book, including Python, MicroPython, and Mbed Practical discussions of digital control basics, including discrete-time signals, discrete-time systems, linear and time-invariant systems, and constant coefficient difference equations An examination of how to represent a continuous-time system in digital form, including analog-to-digital conversion and digital-to-analog conversion Perfect for undergraduate students in electrical engineering, Embedded Digital Control with Microcontrollers will also earn a place in the libraries of professional engineers and hobbyists working on digital control and robotics systems seeking a one-stop reference for digital control systems on microcontrollers.
About the book... The book provides an integrated treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at postgraduate level, or one course at undergraduate and one course at postgraduate level. It covers mainly two areas of modern control theory, namely; system theory, and multivariable and optimal control. The coverage of the former is quite exhaustive while that of latter is adequate with significant provision of the necessary topics that enables a research student to comprehend various technical papers. The stress is on interdisciplinary nature of the subject. Practical control problems from various engineering disciplines have been drawn to illustrate the potential concepts. Most of the theoretical results have been presented in a manner suitable for digital computer programming along with the necessary algorithms for numerical computations.
This work presents traditional methods and current techniques of incorporating the computer into closed-loop dynamic systems control, combining conventional transfer function design and state variable concepts. Digital Control Designer - an award-winning software program which permits the solution of highly complex problems - is available on the CR
Digital Control Applications Illustrated with MATLAB covers the modeling, analysis, and design of linear discrete control systems. Illustrating all topics using the micro-computer implementation of digital controllers aided by MATLAB, Simulink, and FEEDBACK
This is a practical approach to control techniques. The author covers background material on analog controllers, digital controllers, and filters. Commonly used controllers are presented. Extended use of PSpice (a popular circuit simulation program) is used in problem solving. The book is also documented with 50 computer programs that circuit designers can use. - Explains integration of control systems with a personal computer - Compares numerous control algorithms in digital and analog form - Details the use of SPICE in problem solving - Presents modeling concepts for linear and nonlinear systems - Examines commonly used controllers
This text introduces digital control systems and demonstrates how to analyze and design these systems. It shows how to use DSPs to implement controllers designed with both classical frequency domain techniques and modem state variable methods. Computer-aided analysis and design tools, like MATLAB, are used throughout, and the basic mathematics of digital control systems are presented early, so users have the grounding they need to solve real-world problems. Classical design techniques for compensators are explained, as is the use of DSPs to implement compensator transfer functions. The book closes with a detailed look at modern state space techniques like pole placement state estimation; the optimal linear quadratic regulator; and a brief discussion of fuzzy logic design.
