Written as a two-semester course accompaniment for intermediate learners in Control System Engineering, Block Diagram Implementation for Control Systems combines the frequently used technologies of MATLAB, Word, and PowerPoint for the creation of block diagrams to deliver guidance on the widest set of programming options.
Each chapter features learning objectives, and examples are followed by activities to help readers enhance their understanding of concepts. The book contains illustrated tables, annotated figures, and MATLAB script files with executions after each step. The book also features display screens (what you get on your screen), shown in chapters four and five as print screen photos with annotations, and includes review questions after selected chapters.
Written by a highly qualified author, Block Diagram Implementation for Control Systems discusses topics including:
Creating a new M-file, writing a script, saving, executing, or running a file, detecting errors, and writing pseudocode in MATLAB
Creating a block diagram using the canvas or blank page methods and following either the manual or the options alignment methods in MS Word
Organizing slides and creating expressions to turn to another slide in MS PowerPoint
Understanding signal flow graphs, covering terminology, algebra, Mason’s gain formula, and examples
Block Diagram Implementation for Control Systems is an essential learning resource for undergraduate courses on Control Systems and System Modeling and Simulation.
