2、extreme importance in space-vehicle, missile-guidance, and aircraft-piloting systems, etc, automatic control has become an important and integral part of modern </p><p>　　manufacturing and industrial process

3、es. For example, automatic control is essential in such industrial operations as controlling pressure, temperature, humidity, viscosity, and flow in the process industries; tooling, handling, and assembling mechanical pa

4、rts in the manufacturing industries, among many others. </p><p>　　Since advances in the theory and practice of automatic control provide means for attaining optimal performance of dynamic systems, improve th

5、e quality and lower the cost of production, expand the production rate, relieve the drudgery of many routine, repetitive manual operations etc, most engineers and scientists must now have a good understanding of this fie

6、ld. </p><p>　　The first significant work in automatic control was James Watt’s centrifugal governor for the speed control of a steam engine in the eighteenth century. Other significant works in the early sta

7、ges of development of control theory were due to Minorsky, Hazen, and Nyquist, among many others. In 1922 Minorsky worked on automatic controllers for steering ships and showed how stability could be determined by the di

8、fferential equations describing the system. In 1934 Hazen, who introduced the term “erv</p><p>　　During the decade of the 1940’s, frequency-response methods made it possible for engineers to design linear fe

9、edback control systems that satisfied performance requirements. From the end of the 1940’s to early 1950’s, the root-locus method in control system design was fully developed. </p><p>　　The frequency-respons

10、e and the root-locus methods, which are the core of classical theory, lead to systems that are stable and satisfy a set of more or less arbitrary performance requirements. Such systems are, in general, not optimal in any

11、 meaningful sense. Since the late 1950’s, the emphasis on control design problems has been shifted from the design of one of many systems that can work to the design of one optimal system in some meaningful sense. </p

12、><p>　　As modern plants with many inputs and outputs become more and more complex, the description of a modern control system requires a large number of equations. Classical control theory, which deals only wit

13、h single-input-single-output systems, becomes entirely powerless for multiple-input-multiple-output systems. Since about 1960, modern control theory has been developed to cope with the increased complexity of modern plan

14、ts and the stringent requirements on accuracy, weight, and industrial applica</p><p>　　Because of the readily available electronic analog, digital, and hybrid computers for use in complex computations, the u

15、se of computers in the design of control systems and the use of on-line computers in the operation of control systems are now becoming common practice. </p><p>　　The most recent developments in modern contro

16、l theory may be said to be in the direction of the optimal control of both deterministic and stochastic systems as well as the adaptive and learning control of complex systems. Applications of modern control theory to su

17、ch nonengineering fields as biology, economics, medicine, and sociology are now under way, and interesting and significant results can be expected in the near future. </p><p>　　Next we shall introduce the te

18、rminology necessary to describe control systems. </p><p>　　Plants. A plant is a piece of equipment, perhaps just a set of machine parts functioning together, the purpose of which is to perform a particular o

19、peration. Here we shall call any physical object to be controlled (such as a heating furnace, a chemical reactor, or a spacecraft) a plant. </p><p>　　Processes. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a proce

20、ss to be a natural, progressively continuing operation or development marked by a series of gradual changes that succeed one another in a relatively fixed way and lead toward a particular result or end; or an artificial

21、or voluntary, progressively continuing operation that consists of a series of controlled actions or movements systematically directed toward a particular result or end.Here we shall call any operation to be controlled a

22、pro</p><p>　　Systems. A system is a combination of components that act together and perform a certain objective. A system is not limited to abstract, dynamic phenomena such as those encountered in economics.

23、 The word “system” should, therefore, be interpreted to imply physical, biological, economic, etc., system. </p><p>　　Disturbances. A disturbance is a signal which tends to adversely affect the value of the

24、output of a system. If a disturbance is generated within the system, it is called internal, while an external disturbance is generated outside the system and is an input. </p><p>　　Feedback control. Feedback

25、 control is an operation which, in the presence of disturbances, tends to reduce the difference between the output of a system and the reference input (or an arbitrarily varied, desired state) and which does so on the ba

26、sis of this difference. Here, only unpredictable disturbance (i.e., those unknown beforehand) are designated for as such, since with predictable or known disturbances, it is always possible to include compensation with t

27、he system so that measurements are</p><p>　　Feedback control systems. A feedback control system is one which tends to maintain a prescribed relationship between the output and the reference input by comparin

28、g these and using the difference as a means of control. </p><p>　　Note that feedback control systems are not limited to the field of engineering but can be found in various nonengineering fields such as econ

29、omics and biology. For example, the human organism, in one aspect, is analogous to an intricate chemical plant with an enormous variety of unit operations.The process control of this transport and chemical-reaction netwo

30、rk involves a variety of control loops. In fact, human organism is an extremely complex feedback control system. </p><p>　　Servomechanisms. A servomechanism is a feedback control system in which the output i

31、s some mechanical position, velocity, or acceleration. Therefore, the terms servomechanism and position- (or velocity- or acceleration-) control system are synonymous. Servomechanisms are </p><p>　　extensive

32、ly used in modern industry. For example, the completely automatic operation of machine tools, together with programmed instruction, may be accomplished by use of servomechanisms. </p><p>　　Automatic regulati

33、ng systems. An automatic regulating system is a feedback control system in which the reference input or the desired output is either constant or slowly varying with time and in which the primary task is to maintain the a

34、ctual output at the desired value in the presence of disturbances. </p><p>　　A home heating system in which a thermostat is the controller is an example of an automatic regulating system. In this system, the

35、 thermostat setting (the desired temperature) is compared with the actual room temperature. A change in the desired room temperature is a disturbance in </p><p>　　this system. The objective is to maintain th

36、e desired room temperature despite changes in outdoor temperature. There are many other examples of automatic regulating systems, some of which are the automatic control of pressure and of electric quantities such as vol

37、tage, current and frequency. </p><p>　　Process control systems. An automatic regulating system in which the output is a variable such as temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level, or pH is called a process c

38、ontrol system.Process control is widely applied in industry. Programmed controls such as the temperature control of heating furnaces in which the furnace temperature is controlled according to a preset program are often

39、used in such systems. For example, a preset program may be such that the furnace temperature is raised to a give</p><p><b>　　譯文：</b></p><p><b>　　控制系統(tǒng)介紹</b></p><
