Comprehensive Control System Environment with Integrated Symbolic Capability

Control System Professional offers an object-oriented environment for solving common problems in control and systems areas within Mathematica. This robust application package covers all steps from creating and manipulating symbolic and numeric models to analyzing, designing, and simulating control systems. With Control System Professional, you can use analytical solutions to study relationships between design elements, gain added insight into complex composite systems, and use numerical solutions for plotting and testing.

Control System Professional handles linear MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) systems as well as SISO (single-input, single-output) systems in both time and frequency domains. You can use it to analyze state-space and transfer-function models of continuous-time (analog) and discrete-time (sampled) systems and freely convert between the types of models and the domains.

Control System Professional's built-in time-domain response functions make it easy to test your system to investigate step, impulse, and ramp responses as well as to simulate responses to any other input signal of your choice. The system's frequency response tools help you examine the stability of your system and make the necessary design decisions to meet your specifications. In addition, you can reduce the complexity of MIMO systems by having Control System Professional generate singular value plots.

Given system topology and descriptions of the blocks, you have in Control System Professional all the tools you need to construct an arbitrary composite system. Cascade a set of systems, construct parallel interconnections of subsystems, close output and state feedback, and build even more intricate interconnections. Many other system manipulations, such as selecting or deleting subparts, can also be made with a single command.

Use Control System Professional to reveal system characteristics when you find and convert between different realizations, including Kalman, Jordan, balanced, and other forms. Then implement any of a variety of techniques to quickly reduce the order of your models. To correct the behavior of your control systems in a desired direction, a broad selection of feedback design tools is provided, including traditional and robust pole assignment algorithms as well as linear-quadratic optimal control tools.

In addition to linear system analysis, Control System Professional provides several linearization techniques that allow you to study the dynamics of nonlinear systems and in many cases to generate suitable approximations.

Control System Professional is widely applied in control engineering, mechanical engineering, aerodynamics, satellite instrumentation, civil engineering, electrical engineering, electronics, power electronics, hard drive manufacturing, communications, mobile communications, life sciences, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutics, pathology, business and finance, econometrics, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, geophysics, computer sciences, and process control.

"CSPS [Control System Professional Suite] provides a unique and effective symbolic computation environment for solving control engineering problems.... Mathematica works step by step, like a mathematical reasoning machine. This style makes... programs more readable and solutions easier to obtain. Solutions of control problems are also easier to understand. In addition, the structure of CSPS allows users and developers to readily customize and extend the built-in algorithms."
