Synopsis

An up-to-date, mainstream industrial electronics text often used for the last course in two-year electrical engineering technology and electro-mechanical technology programs. Focuses on current technology (digital controls, use of microprocessors) while including analog concepts. Balances industrial electronics and non-calculus controls topics. Covers all major topics: solid state controls, electric motors, sensors, and programmable controllers. 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.
