Modern Industrial Electronics

Modern Industrial Electronics
By Timothy J. Maloney

Core text for Electronic Technology courses in Industrial Electronics, Industrial Process Control, Industrial Machinery, and Industrial Automation. Unlike other technician-level texts, Modern Industrial Electronics doesn't limit its presentation to isolated devices or individual circuits, but strongly emphasizes the need for readers to study and understand complete, real industrial systems as they exist in industry. The text thoroughly examines a wide variety of systems — from PLCs to industrial robots — and includes a wealth of background information on the economic importance and environmental impact of the production process each system is part of. Because the author adopts the realistic view that things will go wrong in any real system, the text also builds in plenty of opportunities throughout for readers to practice determining the probable causes of system failures and deciding on specific corrective steps, rather than only studying how systems work when everything goes right.

Topics commonly covered include:

• The transistor switch as a decision-maker
• Transistor switches in memory and counting applications
• Programmable controllers (PLCs)
• SCRs, UJTs, TRIACs, and other thyristors
• Industrial automated welding systems
• Special uses of op amps
• Feedback systems and servomechanisms
• Input transducers and measuring devices
• DC and AC motors, motor speed control systems
• Telemetry, industrial robots, and safety

Key features:

• Whole-system approach rather than isolated-device or single-circuit focus
• Rich background on economic and environmental context for each industrial system studied
• Extensive troubleshooting practice built into the material, not just correct-operation theory
• Comprehensive glossary of hundreds of industrial electronics terms
• Long-standing core text across multiple editions for industrial electronics technician programs

Perfect for:

• Industrial Electronics Technician and Engineering Technologist students
• Students in Industrial Process Control, Industrial Machinery, or Industrial Automation programs
• Technicians needing troubleshooting skills for real industrial systems
• Faculty teaching a systems-level, application-driven industrial electronics course
