This book is designed to help readers develop a good general working knowledge of programmable controllers with concentration on relay ladder logic techniques and how PLC is connected to external components in an operating control system. The book uses real world programming problems that readers can solve on any available programmable controller or PLC simulator. Later chapters relate to more advanced subjects in machine controls making this a welcome addition to a personal technical reference library. KEY TOPCIS: The authors examine ladder diagram fundamentals, the programmable logic controller, fundamental PLC programming, advanced programming techniques, mnemonic programming code, wiring techniques, analog I/O, discrete position sensors, encoders, transducers, and advanced sensors, closed loop and PID control, motor controls, and system integrity and safety. For those involved in Electrical, Automation, Control, and Process Engineering.

This contemporary overview of the electrical and electronics field strikes an effective balance between basic concepts and current relevant topics while also exploring common areas of application. Early chapters are devoted to the fundamentals of DC circuits, basic transient circuits, and steady-state AC circuits, followed by coverage of linear and digital electronics. Emphasis is then directed toward the electro-mechanical areas of the field including magnetic circuits, three-phase circuits, DC and AC machines, and power transformers. Optional MultiSIM exercises are also included so that many of the same types of experiences that would be obtained in a supporting laboratory can be met with the accompanying software and a PC.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the popular circuit analysis program Multisim, along with a sufficient amount of underlying theory to constitute a complete study of a relevant modern approach to circuit analysis. The book begins with the process required for obtaining parts and constructing a circuit model. Two chapters are then devoted to DC Circuit Analysis including analysis at a fixed operating point followed by the process of sweeping a DC variable. Several chapters are then devoted to Transient Analysis ranging from the simplest single-element forms to more complex transient situations. The treatment then moves to Frequency Response Analysis and Steady-State AC Analysis at a single frequency. Fourier Analysis is covered followed by Pole-Zero Analysis. Finally, Sensitivity Analysis, Worst-Case analysis, Monte Carlo Analysis, and Temperature Sweep Analysis are covered. The underlying theory is covered as a supplement to each of the preceding topics. Numerous examples are provided. Circuit diagrams and Multisim generated curves each occupy a full page providing a convenient way to display the results in a presentation form.
