Industrial Controls and ManufacturingBy - Edward Kamen, Georgia
Institute of Technology, Atlanta, U.S.A. Growing numbers of
engineering graduates are finding employment in the control
systems area with applications to manufacturing. To be properly
prepared for such positions, it is desirable that the students
be exposed to the topics of process control, discrete logic
control and the fundamentals of manufacturing. Presently there
is no existing textbook and/or reference that combine together
process control, discrete logic control and the fundamentals of
manufacturing. This is a book that fills that gap.This book
integrates together the theory with a number of illustrative
examples. Constructive procedures will be given for designing
controllers and manufacturing lines, including methods for
designing digital controllers, fuzzy logic controllers and
adaptive controllers, and methods for the design of the flow of
operations in a manufacturing line. One chapter will be devoted
to equipment interfacing and compu
