An Interactive Computer Aid for the Design and Analysis of Linear, Single Input/Single Output Digital and Continuous Control Systems.

Abstract

This thesis discusses the development of the Digital and Analog Control System Analysis Program (DACSAP). DACSAP is an interactive computer aid for the design and analysis of linear, single input/single output feedback control systems. DACSAP is user friendly; it uses menus for option selection and prompted data entry. The program will analyze systems which are described by transfer functions written in the s, z, w or w' domains. The program will manipulate the transfer functions of multi-loop systems to produce the open and closed loop systems to produce the open and closed loop transfer functions required for a variety of analysis techniques. The analysis techniques included in DACSAP are root locus, open and closed loop Bode frequency response, Nyquist frequency response, Nicols frequency response and closed loop time response. The output of any of these analysis techniques may be either a tabulation of data points or a high resolution plot. Keywords include: Classical control analysis, Root locus analysis, Frequency response analysis, Time response analysis, Digital control system, S-plane, Z-plane w-plane, and W'plane.
