Since the computer receives data only at specific intervals, it is necessary to develop a method for describing and analyzing the performance of computer control systems. The computer system uses data sampled at specific intervals, resulting in a time series of signals. These time series, called sampled data, can be transformed to the s-domain and, ultimately to the z-domain by the relation z=est. The complex frequency domain in terms of z has properties similar to those of the Laplace s-domain. The z-transform of a transfer function is used to analyze the stability and transient response of a sampled system. *The root locus method is used to determine the location of the roots of the characteristic equation. Computer control systems are widely used in industry. They also play an important role in the control of industrial processes which utilize a combination of a computer and an actuator working together to perform a series of tasks. 9.1 Introduction Concept of sample(digital, discrete-time) system The signals in system composed of discrete-time variables and continuous-time variables. The system’s controller is digital computer at almost time. So it can be also called computer control system. A block diagram of a single-loop digital control system is shown in Fig. 9.1. Control principle: The digital computer receives the error in the digital form and performs calculations in order to provide an output in digital form. The computer may be programmed to provide the output control signal so that the performance of the process is near or equal to the desired performance. Many computers are able to receive and manipulate several inputs, so a digital c
