Introduction to Control System TechnologyMarrying an academic examination of control system technology with a reference that practicing engineers and technicians can include in their personal libraries, this carefully-balanced study covers the terminology, concepts, principles, procedures and computations used by engineers and technicians to analyze, select, specify, design and maintain control systems. An accompanying diskette provides computer programs that emulate proven graphical design methods of analysis and design. |
