Book Description

ISBN-10: 0750655569 | ISBN-13: 978-0750655569 | Publication Date: October 8, 2002 | Edition: 1

Microcontroller-Based Temperature Monitoring and Control is an essential and practical guide for all engineers involved in the use of microcontrollers in measurement and control systems. The book provides design principles and application case studies backed up with sufficient control theory and electronics to develop your own systems. It will also prove invaluable for students and experimenters seeking real-world project work involving the use of a microcontroller.

Techniques for the application of microcontroller-based control systems are backed up with the basic theory and mathematics used in these designs, and various digital control techniques are discussed with reference to digital sample theory.
The first part of the book covers temperature sensors and their use in measurement, and includes the latest non-invasive and digital sensor types. The second part covers sampling procedures, control systems and the application of digital control algorithms using a microcontroller. The final chapter describes a complete microcontroller-based temperature control system, including a full software listing for the programming of the controller.

*Provides practical guidance and essential theory making it ideal for engineers facing a design challenge or students devising a project
*Includes real-world design guides for implementing a microcontroller-based control systems
*Requires only basic mathematical and engineering background as the use of microcontrollers is introduced from first principles

Engineers involved in the use of microcontrollers in measurement and control systems will find this book an essential practical guide, providing design principles and application case studies backed up with sufficient control theory and electronics to develop their own systems.
It will also prove invaluable for students and experimenters seeking real-world project work involving the use of a microcontroller.
Unlike the many introductory books on microcontrollers Dogan Ibrahim has used his engineering experience to write a book based on real-world applications.

A basic mathematical and engineering background is assumed, but the use of microcontrollers is introduced from first principles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for the beginners on feedback control, April 27, 2011

This review is from: Microcontroller-Based Temperature Monitoring and Control (Paperback)

I'm so sorry Dogan. But I've had your book for three years and it's not until now that I do a review of it. And your book is very very good book for learning about thermistors and feedback control. The first chapters are about the different kind of temperature sensors and what enviroment they are used in. Then the book goes on with the typical C-learning for beginners and the compiler used is FED C-compiler which is actually very good and has a lot of features. The laster chapters is about how to do an PI and PID controller with an 8-bit. Unfortunately the case study is for a slow measurement controller and not a fast controller, but with a little understanding of the topic you should have work as a fast controller (I succeeded :o)). But your book really taught me a lot about feedback control theory and practice, and I got the second highest grade at my final exam at University. So thank you for a really good book.
