Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for textbooks on Digital Control Systems, with participants sharing their experiences and opinions on various texts. The focus is on identifying suitable resources to enhance understanding and skills in the subject.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests "Digital Control Systems by Benjamin C. Kuo" but questions its relevance due to its age.
  • Another participant mentions having a copy of Kuo but notes that sometimes older books can still be valuable.
  • A participant references "Modern Control Theory" by Brogan, indicating it may not focus solely on digital control.
  • Chen is mentioned as an author of a popular textbook in the field.
  • One participant inquires about "Digital Control of Dynamic Systems" by Franklin, Powell, and Workman, seeking opinions on it.
  • Another participant acknowledges having heard of the Franklin, Powell, and Naeini book but admits to not having read it extensively, though they recall it being potentially good.
  • A participant shares that they found a reference to the Franklin, Powell, and Workman book in an IEEE paper and downloaded it, despite difficulties due to poor scanning quality, and expresses intent to seek a used copy.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying opinions on the value of older textbooks versus newer ones, and there is no consensus on which specific textbook is the best choice for Digital Control Systems.

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention the quality of available resources, such as scanning issues with downloaded texts, which may affect readability and comprehension.

Hi Guys,

I need some material to update, or, better said, to reinforce my skills in Digital Control Systems.

In the very beginning I thought on "Digital Control Systems by Benjamin C. Kuo", but, after think about this, I realized that, maybe, this is an oldie for this subject.

Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you in advance.

D.

I have a copy of Kuo but I have not studied it in depth. Sometimes an old book is best. I used Brogan for Modern Control theory, but I do not think it covers only digital. Chen also wrote a popular textbook.

Have you ever heard about this: Digital control of dynamic systems by Franklin, Powell and Workman?
 
I have heard of Franklin, Powell and Naeini. I bought it bur never read a lot in it. As I remember it was probably pretty good, (or I would not have bought it). I just do not remember it.
 
Thank you for your message: I wrote this last message, because I read a reference about that book in an IEEE paper.
I downloaded from the book from the web, and despite is pretty difficult to read due to the low quality of the scanning, the book looks very complete, so, I will look for an used book on Amazon.
Thank you again
