About this title

Synopsis

This text explains the workings behind the logical design of an automation system, and offers students the most up-to-date information on this technology. It describes the tools and techniques used in the design of automation systems in a "logical" and orderly fashion, and shows how to apply these techniques in both an economically viable and responsible manner. Key topic coverage includes: cost components of automation; postulates and theorems of Boolean algebra; equation optimization methods; logic design symbology; passive memory hardware; computer-assisted design and much more. Numerous case studies, worked examples, problems, and computer problems are included to aid in comprehension.

Synopsis

This textbook is for the mechanical engineering student without much computer background. The selected bibliography relies heavily on materials from the mid-sixties to mid-seventies. Contains historical background and economic basis for automation but curiously assumes microcomputer applications for future development of applications. Annotation co
