Description
Once again Owen Bishop has produced a concise, readable text to introduce a wide range of students, technicians and professionals to an
important area of electronics. Control is a highly mathematical subject, but here maths is kept to a minimum, with flow charts to illustrate
principles and techniques instead of equations.
Cutting edge topics such as microcontrollers, neural networks and fuzzy control are
all here, making this an ideal refresher course for those working in industry. Basic principles, control algorithms and hardwired control
systems are also fully covered so the resulting book is a comprehensive text and well suited for college courses or background reading
for university students.
The text is supported by questions under the headings Keeping Up and Test Your Knowledge so that the reader
can develop a sound understanding and the ability to apply the techniques they are learning. These features are particularly useful for
independent study or courses with limited contact time.
Owen Bishop is one of the world's leading electronics authors, with a loyal
following among electronics enthusiasts and an established reputation as a textbook author.
Audience:
A very wide technician-level professional readership plus a student readership for courses including electronics and control engineering - GNVQ, BTEC National, HNC/D.
