Abstract

This paper describes the Modeling and Control Synthesis (MACSYN) Toolbox, which is an integrated software package for system identification, modeling, and robust control. Using MACSYN, the plant is identified in state-space form, and modeling errors are characterized in terms of norm-bounded weighting functions in a form that can be used with modern robust control design software packages. An automated framework simplifies the modeling and control design procedure, and enables robust high-performance feedback designs for systems which would be otherwise difficult to control reliably. MACSYN is implemented as programmable M-files in MATLAB.
