From the Publisher:

In this text, Bateson provides both a textbook on control system technology and a reference that practicing engineers and technicians can include in their personal libraries. Coverage includes the terminology, concepts, principles, procedures and computations used by engineers and technicians to analyze, select, specify, design and maintain control systems. The Fifth Edition strikes the perfect balance of breadth and depth, adapting and enhancing coverage to aid in accessibility and comprehension.

From the Back Cover:

An ideal reference source that practicing engineers and technicians can include in their personal libraries, this carefully balanced study covers the terminology, concepts, principles, procedures and computations used to analyze, select, specify, design and maintain control systems. Shows how to apply established methods with the aid of examples and computer programs, and provides a supplementary diskette containing programs used in the text for computation, analysis, and design (including one using the classical Bode design method.) Offers thorough coverage of instrumentation, signal conditioning, and control systems and employs analogies for modeling electrical, fluid flow, thermal and mechanical components. Sixth Edition highlights: an entire chapter devoted to programmable logic controllers; a look at fuzzy logic controllers, and; increased coverage of bridge circuits, thermistors, thermocouples, and solid state temperature sensors.
