THE APPLICATION OF MODERN COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY TO CONTROL SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN PROBLEMS,
Abstract
The analysis and design of multiloop, multivariable, linear control systems requires the use of computers. Algorithms are introduced for applying frequency response, time response, and root locus methods to such systems with the aid of a digital computer. A digital program, AUTO, is described which, through the use of a gradient optimization scheme, automatically synthesizes compensation for multiloop continuous and digital control systems so as to achieve a desired open-loop frequency response. The application of analog, digital, and hybrid computers to the simulation of control system time-domain performance is discussed and the strengths and weaknesses of each type of simulation are highlighted.
