A Software Tool for Digital Controller Design.
Abstract
The structure of a software tool for aiding in the design of digital control systems is developed. Structure in this case refers to a flow diagram whose building blocks are algorithms. The algorithms included in the software structure are discussed with the objective of conveying an understanding of the algorithm and of facilitating the coding of the algorithm. The software structure is divided into two main branches, the transfer-function and the state-variable branch. Included in both branches are algorithms for obtaining the exact and the approximate, discrete, model of a continuous system. Both branches include algorithms for analyzing the discrete system or for modifying it to improve system performance. Actual coding of the transfer-function branch of the software was begun. A discussion of this software is included.
