Control Systems with Input and Output Constraints will sell because it teaches its reader to overcome some serious restrictions in the most widely used form of industrial control - PID. It draws upon the practical experience of experienced engineers in real plants and teaches the student a scientific structure with which to apply it.

Reader will gain a structured and scientific understanding of many previously disconnected "on-the-spot" solutions to practical low-order control problems devised by working control engineers Allows better design of commonly used pid controllers to compensate for restrictions imposed by all but the simplest real-world plants and therefore to cope with many more situations than simple pid control
