Control engineering allows for the control of various quantities such as temperature.

of a space, the distance between two vehicles, the concentration of

Blood sugar levels or camera image sharpness can be automatically influenced as desired. Modern technologies (mechatronics, microsystems technology, embedded control) are constantly opening up new control engineering applications, for example in automotive and medical technology, and equipment and plant engineering.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to control engineering. Further features include numerous illustrations and examples that are explained step by step.

can be. The topics covered include setting rules and model-based approaches.

Calculation methods of analog and digital PID, two-point and

Fuzzy control systems. The book also discusses electronic components for the technical implementation of control systems, including process computers and software engineering. Finally, rapid control prototyping is presented as a computer-aided design method for control system development. Symbols and terms conform to DIN 19226.

The book is primarily aimed at students in practice-oriented engineering programs and practitioners.
