Industrial
Motor Control, 6E
Sixth Edition
Stephen L. Herman
The new and updated 6th edition
of Industrial Motor Control is the most comprehensive
revision of the book since it was published over 20 years ago.
With crucial, up-to-date information on basic relay control
systems, programmable logic controllers, and solid state devices
commonly found in an industrial setting, this book is a must have.
It presents easy-to-follow instructions and the essential
information for controlling industrial motors, along with commonly
used devices in contemporary industrial settings. Coverage is
thorough in scope, successfully bridging the gap between industrial
maintenance and instrumentation.
Readers will gain a fundamental understanding of the operation of
variable frequency drives, solid state relays, and other
applications that employ electronic devices.
Features:
- Chapters have been completely re-arranged to allow for easy
transitioning from topic to topic
- Updated accompanying workbook and laboratory manual have
been updated to now contain worksheets that cover subjects that
range from Ohm's Law to the design of motor control circuits.
- short units of instruction allow readers to completely
digest and absorb one topic before proceeding to the next
- new photos demonstrate more state-of-the-art equipment,
while updated diagrams and illustrations help readers quickly
identify components as well as understand how they relate to one
another
- many circuits are explained with step-by-step sequences that
help readers learn the concepts and applications of control
logic
