Industrial Electronics for Engineers, Chemists, and Technicians: With Optional Lab Experiments
Note: Chapter 8 is absent.
A multipurpose reference for engineers, chemists, and technicians in the industrial factory or laboratory environment, showing how to avoid or solve common problems when using electronics. Includes laboratory experiments that can be taken as examples or may be conducted for practicing the principles outlined in the text. DLC: Industrial electronics.
Turn to this multipurpose reference for a practical understanding of electronics in the factory or laboratory. It's perfect for people who are not electrical engineers but who need to use electronic equipment every day at work. Avoid or solve common problems in the use of electronics in the factory or lab and optimize the use of measurement and control equipment with this helpful resource!
The guide is easy to understand by anyone who has taken a high school physics course--yet it provides quick, specific solutions for such electronics issues as feedback oscillation, ground loops, impedance mismatch, noise pickup, and optimization of PID controllers.
Use INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS as a hands-on resource to handle typical electronics questions as they arise, as a self-study text to provide a broad background for understanding general electronics issues and design, or even for an instructor-led, on-the-job training course in shop or lab electronics. Because of the highly detailed explanations in the book, instructors themselves do not need to be experts. Of course, the volume is perfect for use as a textbook in college and vocational school courses.
The laboratory experiments are optional and may be used merely as examples. Components are inexpensive and can be obtained from consumer electronics stores such as Radio Shack or from electronics suppliers on the Web. The circuit diagrams are greatly simplified and completely understandable, with every component explained.
Key Features:
- Explains how capacitors, inductors, relays, self-starting ac motors, transistors, and integrated circuits actually work
- Shows how to prevent or fix ground loops, feedback oscillations, noise pickup, and impedance mismatch
- Teaches readers how to design simple, special-purpose circuits such as amplifiers, latching registers, oscillators, and SCR controllers
- Provides an understanding of more complex devices including laser printers, copying machines, and analog and digital systems

Engineering Electromagnetics: Applications
Highlighted with valuable tips and Brown's firsthand experiences, Winning Score is an excellent tool for constructing a performance measurement system. It explains how to lay the foundation for the balanced scorecard by developing operational and strategic plans. The book covers how to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, design data collection strategies, link the scorecard to other systems in an organization, develop a performance index, and avoid the top ten measurement mistakes. In addition, case studies of actual scorecard implementation in different sectors, such as manufacturing, service, support, and government are included.
Review
"[In Winning Score], Brown suggests new ways business managers can use scoring systems to help them achieve long term goals. Observing that many companies still spend time constructing elaborate scoring systems that are not used for making changes in the company's operation, he argues that a better approach would be for companies to measure what matters, rather than collecting data that offers no insight into the company's long term strategy."

Recent Developments of Electrical Drives
Product Description
Recent Developments of Electrical Devices is composed of the papers which were presented at the XVI International Conference on Electrical Machines - ICEM2004, which was held in Cracow, Poland on September 5-8, 2004.
The contributions selected for the book cover a wide spectrum of theory and practice, thus they are deeply rooted in engineering problems, being simultaneously of high theoretical level. This way the contents of the book is believed to touch the heart of the matter in electrical drives (theory, control systems and applications).
The book, stating the recent developments of electrical drives, can be useful for engineers and researchers investigating and designing electrical and electronic devices as well as for students and young researchers dealing with electrical and electronic engineering, computer sciences (advanced computer modelling, sophisticated control systems with artificial intelligence tools applied, optimal design bye use of classical and genetic algorithms employed), applied mathematics and all the topics where electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical phenomena occur.
Recent Developments of Electrical Devices covers a wide range of interest of industry engineers, and scientists involved in modelling, control, measurements, new motor structures design, and could be also useful for engineers working in the field of electrical drives implementation.

Handbook of Electrical Installation Practice
Product Description
Handbook of Electrical Installation Practice covers all key aspects of industrial, commercial and domestic installations and draws on the expertise of a wide range of industrial experts.
Chapters are devoted to topics such as wiring cables, mains and submains cables and distribution in buildings, as well as power supplies, transformers, switchgear, and electricity on construction sites. Standards and codes of practice, as well as safety, are also included.
Since the Third Edition was published, there have been many developments in technology and standards. The revolution in electronic microtechnology has made it possible to introduce more complex technologies in protective equipment and control systems, and these have been addressed in the new edition.
Developments in lighting design continue, and extra-low voltage luminaries for display and feature illumination are now dealt with, as is the important subject of security lighting.
All chapters have been amended to take account of revisions to British and other standards, following the trend to harmonised European and international standards, and they also take account of the latest edition of the Wiring Regulations.
This new edition will provide an invaluable reference for consulting engineers, electrical contractors and factory plant engineers.

PRACTICAL PROCESS CONTROL TUNING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
After working almost exclusively in process control for over 40 years, I have
developed a strong opinion that is refl ected throughout this book: The process
aspects of process control are the key to success; the systems aspects (the bits
and bytes) are largely irrelevant. If you can do an application with one com-
mercial system, then you can do it with any of them.
The practice of process control involves two intertwined endeavors:
1. Developing a process and instrumentation (P & I) diagram for the
process.
2. Proportional - integral - derivative (PID) controller tuning and
troubleshooting.
Defi ciencies in the P & I diagram invariably lead to controllers that cannot be
successfully tuned. The root problem is with the P & I diagram; tuning diffi cul-
ties are merely symptoms. This makes troubleshooting an essential component
of controller tuning, and vice versa.
Both endeavors are process (as opposed to systems) issues. The PID control
equation is implemented in a variety of commercial control products, including
a distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC),
single - loop (or multiloop) controller, PC - based control system, and so on.
A few implementations have a “ wart ” or two, but in the end, all are largely
equivalent.
Automation of any industrial process should be undertaken with a simple
objective — achieve a high degree of automatic control. That means controls
that deliver the required performance a very high percentage of the time. This
capability is a prerequisite to obtaining the greatest economic returns from a
continuous process and the minimum product variability from a batch process.
The P & I diagram must be correct, and the controllers must be properly
tuned.
What does every plant manager know about the controls? The cost! Control
system maintenance and support costs usually appear as line items in the
budget. But ask the same plant manager how (or even if) these controls are
making money. Most managers do not have a clue. The plant manager under-
stands that controls are necessary, but with no understanding of the benefi ts,
he/she does what all good managers do with regard to costs — manage the costs
