Recommend me sources to learn Control Engineering

[salaheldin]

Hello dear colleagues
I need some sources to learn Control Engineering from, I don't understand control engineering well till now but, It is time to do.
Please recommend me some video lectures or textbooks that you used, and any further guidance is welcome.

Thank you

Are you referring to process instrumentation or classical control theory?

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

I mean Classical Control Theory but, what is process instrumentation?

EEs and MEs start by learning classical control theory for linear systems (physical modeling, Laplace transforms, block diagrams, linearization, transfer functions/state space models, stability analysis, system performance analysis, PIDs and PID tuning, and controller algorithm design using root locus and frequency response techniques). Courses in classical control theory typically pay no attention to the measurement/actuation tasks that interface the controller with the process/plant/equipment that it has to control. Dorf and Bishop's "Modern Control Systems" is a standard text that I happen to like.

ChemEs start by learning process control theory (physical modeling, block diagrams, linearization, transfer functions/state space models, stability analysis, system performance analysis, PIDs and PID tuning, and controller algorithm design using a variety of non-model-based and model-based techniques). Courses in process control theory may include minor attention to the measurement/actuation tasks that interface the controller with the process/plant/equipment that it has to control. I happen to like Bequette's "Process Control," Ogunnaike's "Process Dynamics, Modeling, and Control," and Smith and Corripio's "Principles and Practices of Automatic Process Control."

You could look at a Matlab-oriented tutorial:

There are free classes:
