Computer system development and investigation of a digital control technique : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Technology in Systems Engineering at Massey University

The project has been undertaken to gain a better understanding of certain aspects of the control theory used, and also the effective use of the minicomputer. The use of this system in the laboratory for the control of a typical system is described. Direct digital control (DDC) is becoming increasingly important and is often replacing analog means using three-term controllers. Digital control is applied to a continuous process, which is sampled and processed as discrete time data. The z-transformation procedure is especially convenient and useful in the analysis of these systems.
