AbstractThis paper presents a technique for the computer-aided design for synthesis of discrete controllers based on some called special compensation methods, namely, high-gain design and gain-insensitive designs and Truxal's and algebraic methods. The pole-placement synthesis method is also included in the software package which has a modular structure. Each module has a specific task and can be compiled separately after editing to correct programming errors. This philosophy makes implementation extremely easy.In structuring the modules, both the expected hardware implementation facilities and ease of programming are taken into account. The designed algorithm may be extended to the adaptive control case.
