Classical and Modern Controls with Microcontrollers: Design, Implementation, and Applications

Classical and Modern Controls with Microcontrollers focuses on the design, implementation, and applications of embedded systems and advanced industrial controls with microcontrollers. It combines classical and modern control theories as well as practical control programming codes to help readers learn control techniques easily and effectively. The book covers both linear and nonlinear control techniques to help readers understand modern control strategies.

The author provides a detailed description of the practical considerations and applications in linear and nonlinear control systems. They concentrate on the ARM Cortex-M4 MCU system built by Texas Instruments called TM4C123GXL, in which two ARM Cortex-M4 MCUs, TM4C123GH6PM, are utilized. The goal is to help the reader develop and build application control software for a specified microcontroller unit.

Readers can quickly develop and build their applications by using sample project codes provided in the book to access specified peripherals. The book enables readers to transfer from one interfacing protocol to another, even if they only have basic and fundamental understanding and basic knowledge of one interfacing function.

Classical and Modern Controls with Microcontrollers is a powerful source of information for control and systems engineers looking to expand their programming knowledge of C, and of applications of embedded systems with microcontrollers. The book is ideal for college students majoring in CE, EE, and ISE. The book can also be adopted as a reference book for professional programmers working in modern control fields or related to intelligent controls and embedded computing and applications.

An introduction to Control System Toolbox, System Identification Toolbox, and Fuzzy Logic Toolbox are included as well as Simulink examples.
