Web-Based Control System Design and Analysis


This Web service for interactive control system design and analysis is part of Ch Control System Toolkit. Ch Control System Toolkit supports most classical and modern control techniques through object-oriented programming based on a control class. It can seamlessly interface existing C/C++ code in either source code or binary static/dynamical libraries without re-compilation. It can even be embedded in other application programs.

This Web-based system can be used for modeling, design, and analysis of continuous-time or discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) control systems. A control system can be modeled in the form of transfer functions, zero-pole-gain, or state-space.
