Electrical-driven actuating elements : modeling and selection -- Logic controller design -- Process monitoring, fault detection, and diagnosis -- Sensing and data acquisition elements : modeling and selection -- Data transmission system.

The book discusses the concept of process automation and mechatronic system design, while offering a unified approach and methodology for the modeling, analysis, automation and control, networking, monitoring, and sensing of various machines and processes from single electrical-driven machines to large-scale industrial process operations. This step-by-step guide covers design applications from various engineering disciplines (mechanical, chemical, electrical, computer, biomedical) through real-life mechatronics problems and industrial automation case studies with topics such as manufacturing, power grid, cement production, wind generator, oil refining, incubator, etc."--Provided by publisher.
