Control System Design

Introduction

 

Maple has tools for linear control system design in the DynamicSystems package. You can

 

• 

Work with transfer functions, state space models, or differential equations

• 

Linearize systems

• 

Analyze the controllability, observability, phase and gain margin, and more

• 

Generate control plots, including Bode, root-locus and Nyquist plots

• 

Work symbolically or numerically


In this example, we will calculate the controllability matrix of a model of a DC motor, and generate a root-locus plot.

Symbolic Controllability Matrix

 

You can also work symbolically, and maintain the parameter relationships present in the original equation system. Here, for example, we generate a symbolic controllability matrix.
