This book makes use of ample illustrations and clear, no-nonsense explanations to provide a fundamental understanding of modern automatic control systems and industrial electronics. It is logically organized, taking readers on a "virtual journey" through a typical control system, starting with an introduction, then moving on to discuss basic components, sensors, wiring, motors, motor control circuits, and mechanical parts. At the conclusion, these functional parts are "put together" by discussing control strategies and controller types, including Programmable Logic Controllers. The text is both contemporary and comprehensive in scope, with supplemental information on various basic applied physics and mechanical concepts, such as linear and rotational motion, springs, friction, gears, levers, heat transfer, and energy transfer not found in other books in its class. Digital controllers and concepts are introduced early and referenced throughout the book. Analog concepts are also included. This edition features new material on digital "panel mount" controllers, differential gears, the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), ultrasonic proximity sensors, inductive proximity sensors, ultrasonic flow sensors, and cascade control. Information has also been added to better address such topics as AC variable frequency motor drives, PID control, and the AS-I sensor factory network.

Excellent Electro Mechanical Control Systems Information Foundation,
By
This review is from: Modern Control Technology (Hardcover)
Modern Control Technology provides an excellent information foundation to grow on for electro mechanical and control systems. This book is written in a concise "How Things Work" style that is easy to understand in a way that makes it extremely valuable to those who are starting a career in electronics and engineering technologies. "Modern Control Technology" is an excellent reference for engineering fundamentals needed to design and build motion control systems. Fundamentals of mechanical components, electrical and electronic components, physics of energy and motion, sensors, control methods including PID, and much more.
This is the best book to have at your workbench when you need to review how things work ... and when you need to explain how things work to your co-workers or boss! I keep this book next to my Machinery's Handbook Machinery's Handbook, 27th Edition (Machinery's Handbook) As a good foundation, Modern Control Technology by Prof [...] Kilian is a great book when you want to understand how an electro mechanical device or system works. The book has adequate and well illustrated examples. After reading this book, you will feel you are ready to start designing and building your own devices and systems with confidence!

This review is from: Modern Control Technology (Hardcover)
This book, while being way too expensive, is a great survey of electronic controls. The text is easy to read and is backed up with tons of pictures/diagrams. The problem sets fairly represent the material given, and answers to the odd problems are provided, something that is always appreciated.
