- DEMO of Control Engineering program SYSAN.EXE
-
- SYSAN - SYStems ANalysis for linear control systems is a mainly
- educational program for electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering
- students that take a control engineering course.
-
- The program strictly follows the manner of which calculations are
- presented in the various textbooks. When a response in the time domain
- is calculated, you will be confronted with this response in the form of
- the Laplace transformation, a formula, a table and a graph. You will
- recognise all the hand calculations you would have to make if you had
- tackled the problem by hand. With the aid of SYSAN however you get the
- results without undue effort, so that you can concentrate on the control
- problem.
-
- SYSAN is so user friendly that you may start without even having seen a
- manual. Just type SYSAN and start. If you are lost somewhere, press F1,
- and help will put you on the right track again.
-
- What you must know however is Control Engineering. If you know what a
- Bode plot means, Sysan will draw it for you.
-
- Sysan covers analysis and design of analog and digital control systems
- up to the 8th order (restricted to what could be shown on one screen).
- You will work with transfer functions and state-space presentations.
- You will work in the time domain, in the frequency domain, with root
- loci, with pole placement and with full and reduced observers.
- Everything is available in both analog and digital form.
-
- SYSAN runs on almost any IBM like PC. From the old 8088 with a Hercules
- or CGA screen (but this will take you some time) to the newest Pentium.
-
- SYSAN is capable to 'speak' various languages: at the moment it does
- English, German and Dutch. If somebody is interested in another language
- and he is a native speaker and knows control engineering terminology, we
- can very easily make another language version. It only requires a text
- file of some 200 lines and 12 helpfiles of 2 pages each.
-
- This Demo version is shareware and may be distributed freely on the
- condition that the distribution is complete (with all the supporting
- files) and no changes are made to any of the files belonging to this
- program.
-
- The Demo version is restricted to 4th order systems and English
- language. Only frequency domain and time domain are available. I hope
- that this will give you a good impression of what SYSAN can do for you.
-
- SYSAN may give you a great help if your control engineering course uses
- one of the following text books:
-
- Dorf, R.C. : "Modern Control Systems"
- ISBN 0-201-14278-3 Addison-Wesley
-
- Franklin, G.F., Powell, J.D. and Emami-Naeini, A. :
- "Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems"
- ISBN 0-201-11540-9 Addison-Wesley
-
- Kuo, B.C. : "Automatic Control Systems"
- ISBN 0-13-055070-1 Prentice Hall
-
- Phillips, C.L. and Harbor, R.D. : "Feedback Control Systems"
- ISBN 0-13-307927-9 Prentice-Hall
-
- Pestel, E. und Kollmann, E. : "Theorie geregelter Systeme"
- ISBN 3-528-14847-7 Friedr. Vieweg & Sohn
-
- Of course SYSAN may be of equally great help in any other control
- engineering course.
-
- If you like SYSAN, you can obtain a personal copy for US$ 100,- or
- 150,- Dutch guilders. Payment by postal check only. Sorry, credit card
- numbers do not work here (probably because the banks do not get their
- commission then). Make the check payable to

-
- You can also send me a registered letter with banknotes in your own
- currency. I can accept the following currencies:
- Australia AUS$ 140

-
- The prices quoted here include post and package, but not any local tax
- that the recipient may have to pay.
- I will send you then 2 floppies (1 backup) with your complete personal
- copy of SYSAN, a report with the algorithms of the analytical design
- procedure in the root locus plane and a report of state space observer
- controller design algorithms.
- It is also possible to obtain a campus licence for educational
- institutes. The price and conditions will have to be negotiated.
