Numerical control

This book deals with digital control a fundamental element of industrial automation. It explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of this technology describing the structure of digital control systems their essential components and the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion processes. Signal sampling digitization reconstruction and converter modeling are also covered. The book then develops representations of sampled systems through tools such as the z-transform and deals with stability causality and system synthesis presenting techniques such as PID control and the RST controller. This book thus provides a comprehensive rigorous and progressive view of the implementation of numerical control systems in the industrial context.
