Synopsis

A mainstream industrial electronics text often used for the last course in two-year electrical engineering technology and electro-mechanical technology programmes, this book focuses on current technology (digital controls, use of microprocessors) while including analogue concepts. Balances industrial electronics and non-calculus controls topics. Covers all major topics: solid state controls, electric motors, sensors, and programmable controllers. It includes physics concepts and coverage of fuzzy logic. How to use the Allen-Bradley 5, the most commonly used PLC, has been included as a tutorial appendix. Both customary and SI units are used in examples.
