Recently, a great deal of effort has been dedicated to capitalising on
advances in mathematical control theory in conjunction with
tried-and-tested classical control structures particularly with regard
to the enhanced robustness and tighter control of modern PID
controllers. Much of the research in this field and that of the
operational autonomy of PID controllers has already been translated into
useful new functions for industrial controllers. This book covers the
important knowledge relating to the background, application, and design
of, and advances in PID controllers in a unified and comprehensive
treatment including:
Evolution and components of PID controllers
Classical and Modern PID controller design
Automatic Tuning
Multi-loop Control
Practical issues concerned with PID control
The book is intended to be useful to a wide spectrum of readers
interested in PID control ranging from practising technicians and
engineers to graduate and undergraduate students.
