Publisher's Synopsis
Providing coverage of microcomputer hardware and software issues relevant to manufacturing automation, this book takes a case study approach integrating material on programming, manufacturing processes, and controls. The text combines digital control theory with microcomputer hardware and software; takes an engineering approach to material and provides considerable breadth and depth of coverage; emphasizes software and hardware design for manufacturing automation via examples, problems, and case students; integrates material previously studied into a unified treatment of automated manufacturing (eg control, manufacturing processes, electronics, programming, etc) and in addition to case studies includes problems, examples and program listings for current micros.
