CDM Book

The CDM book is written with two objectives. The first objective is to introduce a simple but powerful control design technique called Coefficient Diagram Method(CDM), whereby ordinary engineers without strong control and mathematics background can design a good controller for their specific plant. Also control experts can solve such complicated design problems, which defy their best knowledge, with consistent manner

The second objective is to clarify the "meanings" of the control theories currently in use. The CDM is so general that any controller designed by various control theories can be expressed by an equivalent CDM design. Such equivalent design helps to clarify the "meaning" of each control theory by the common technology used in CDM. As the result, control experts can correctly evaluate the merits and shortcomings of such control theories, and use them wisely in practical application.

The book consists of 8 chapters, namely
   1. Introduction
   2. Basics of Coefficient Diagram Method
   3. Controller Design
   4. Advanced Usage of Coefficient Diagram
   5. Advanced Controller Desig
   6. Stability
   7. Comparison with Other Design Approaches
   8. Model Design Practice
