Control System Design Guide: Using Your Computer to Understand and Diagnose Feedback Controllers - George Ellis

. .

Résumé :
Control systems enable modern life. Cars, planes, vending machines, heating and refrigeration systems, mass media, industrial manufacturing--most of the daily conveniences we depend on--are made possible by control systems. Whether readers are just beginning to use controllers or have years of experience, the new 4e of this truly practical guide will help them improve the performance of their systems. It focuses on the efficient implementation of control systems in real-life settings by emphasizing digitally enabled design in practice and leaving out all the unnecessary mathematics. Even expert control engineers are being challenged by the design work involved in emerging applications areas, which require increasingly complex and precise designs to enable real-time, networked, and remote control systems--think unmanned military aircraft, solar power towers, intelligent robots and 3D gaming. New chapters, models and troubleshooting tips have been added to the 4e to address those evolving demands.

Biographie:
George Ellis has worked in product development for 35 years. He first experienced the concept of continuous improvement two decades ago through the Danaher Corporation, one of the world?s foremost lean thinking companies. Danaher transformed itself in the 1980s, modeling its Danaher Business System (DBS) on the Toyota Production System. Ellis has had numerous leadership roles at Danaher, including Vice President of Global Engineering for X-Rite from 2015 to 2018. In 2019, Ellis joined Envista Holdings Corporation, a new spin-off from Danaher for the dental industry, as Vice President of Innovation. There he spends every day immersed in lean knowledge work, deploying, improving, and sustaining new product development workflows in EBS, Envist?s brand of lean knowledge. He also wrote Project Management for Product Development, Control System Design Guide (4th edition), and Observers in Control Systems, all from Elsevier.
