Specific Issues of Implementation

Abstract

The previous chapter examined the general issues of implementation, primarily the conversion of discrete compensator transfer functions into equations, and the determination of what computational precision is needed within those equations. The next stage is to translate these requirements into a specific combination of hardware and software which will implement the controller in an accurate, effective and efficient manner. This chapter presents an overview of the techniques needed to do this, although it is not necessary to be comprehensive because of the many books dealing in detail with all aspects of microprocessor systems.
