Air Logic Control for Automated Systems

Provides technicians, engineers, and designers with information on implementing and maintaining air logic control for automated manufacturing. The author provides a background on compressible fluids, pneumatics, and logic systems before addressing moving and non-moving parts concepts and components. He then addresses signal transmission, communications, electrical and electronic devices; presents the symbology, schematics, and flow diagrams related to ALC; and overviews ALC system design. Three case studies offer different approaches to problem-solving and illustrate alternative methods available. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
