Inclui bibliografia e indice; il.; 25cm. ISBN 1846280559. Resumo: The extraordinary development of microprocessors and their extensive use in control systems in all fields of application has brought about important changes in the design of control systems. Their performance and low cost make them much more capable, in many circumstances, than analog controllers. In order to take full advantage of this potential, Digital Control Systems demonstrates in detail how to design and implement high-performance model-based controllers combining system identification and control design techniques extensively tested in industrial milieux. The effective use of these techniques is illustrated in the context of various systems including: d.c. motors, flexible transmissions, air heaters, distillation columns and hot-dip galvanizing.

Truma E2400 Heater Installation, note the clever way to install the heater off the floor, a special platform was contructed. Supplied and installed by Barnes Caravan Repairs Lansvale NSW. Managed to take the van for it's second outing for the past 2 weeks and the heater worked a treat. 9 July 2011
