Mechatronics: Mechanical System Interfacing

For senior/graduate courses in Mechatronics and Mechanical System Interfacing.Using a practical engineering perspective and a hands-on approach, this text explores the critical interface technology necessary for the electronic control of mechanical systems. Written from the perspective of engineers expert in target mechanical systems, it provides concise coverage of signal and power level electronics as well as the instruments and actuators most successfully used in the interface between mechanical systems and control computers.
