Mitsubishi FX Programmable Logic Controllers

John Ridley "Mitsubishi FX Programmable Logic Controllers, 2 Ed: Applications and Programming"
Newnes | 2004-09-13 | ISBN: 0750656794 | 352 pages | PDF | 3,8 MB

John Ridley provides comprehensive information on usage, design and programming for the Mitsubishi FX range of programmable logic controllers, in this step-by-step, practical guide.
Professional engineers working with Mitsubishi PLCs, as well as students following courses focusing on these devices, will find this book to be an essential resource for this popular PLC family. Numerous worked examples and assignments are included, to reinforce the practical application of these devices, widely used in industry.
Fully updated throughout from coverage of the FX PLC to now cover the FxN PLC family from Mitsubishi, John Ridley also focuses on use of the Fx2N - the most powerful and diverse in function of this PLC group. The second edition contains advanced topics along with numerous ladder diagrams and illustrative examples.
· A hands-on approach to the programming, design and application of FX PLC based systems
· Programmed using GX Developer software - used worldwide for the whole range of the FX PLC family
· Covers Ladder Logic tester - the GX developer simulator that enables students and designers to test and debug their programs without a PLC
· GX Developer demo available on a companion website for the book

This is the definitive guide to valve selection. This fourth edition is thoroughly updated, with revised and expanded chapters on pressure relief valves and rupture discs. It takes into account U.S. practices and codes as well as emerging European standards.

Review
For engineers involved with fluid flow processes, here is a basic guide showing the engineering criteria for selecting valves. The book discusses engineering fundamentals related to valves and deals with the factors on which selection should be made. (Plant Engineering)

...this book is mandatory reading for anyone who uses valves in an engineering capacity. A copy ought to be handy for users and even sales people. -Chemical Engineering Magazine

...the book chapters look at each type of valve in detail. Photos accompany
all of the text.
-Chemical Engineering Magazine

The author provides excellent coverage of the various devices and the mathematics, which are required to properly size the complete system.

New Project: WPX Rugged Handheld: Amphibious Airbourne Robot

The WPX from www.mobilecrossing.com has it all!

The WPX: an impact and chemically resitant, water and dust sealed portable device. Thanks Calvin Chu at mobile crossing!

Future Project: Blackberry Robot - RIM rocks to the nth degree!

The Blackberry: 8800 - Very nice device! If I have the time and money I will build a Blackberry Bot.

Way to go Jim Balsillie, Mike Lazaridis and and all the great people over at RIM!

Ultimate Neural/Machine Interface: FMRI: Mind Reader - Click the picture

BrainGateT Neural Interface System

I worked for a Medical Imaging company and have researched this in the past. Different notes hummed in your head could move the mouse in a particular direction, another clicks the mouse, but this is taking it to a new level, opening the door to amazing artifical limbs and exoskeltons! My dream while I worked there was to create a device capable of cellular level scans.

Preventative maintenance is what I liked to call it. The Scenario: You goto your doctors office for a checkup, walk into a shower like chamber. The Super NMRI scans down from your head to your toe and on the way up zaps any defective cells with colliding particle beams that never miss. No one ever develops cancer because it was zapped the moment it was deemed abhorrent. This requires an immense amount of prosessing power! Which leads into another area of interest... Quantum Computing. I have also researched cellular reprogramming (making white cells smater) but I prefer the scan and zap approach because we can't really control a bio-process (mutations, etc.).

ICQ - Institute for Quantum Computing - Ray Laflamme

With Ray's computer (if he doesn't end up in an alternate universe Parallax ) we can build the SuperScan and many other incredible things!

Perimeter Institute - Great place! They hold open house sessions and lecture series so there is always something very interesting going on! Black Hole Bistro!
