Excellent Electro Mechanical Control Systems Information Foundation

Modern Control Technology provides an excellent information foundation to grow on for electro mechanical and control systems. This book is written in a concise "How Things Work" style that is easy to understand in a way that makes it extremely valuable to those who are starting a career in electronics and engineering technologies. "Modern Control Technology" is an excellent reference for engineering fundamentals needed to design and build motion control systems. Fundamentals of mechanical components, electrical and electronic components, physics of energy and motion, sensors, control methods including PID, and much more. This is the best book to have at your workbench when you need to review how things work ... and when you need to explain how things work to your co-workers or boss! I keep this book next to my Machinery's Handbook Machinery's Handbook, 27th Edition (Machinery's Handbook) As a good foundation, Modern Control Technology by Prof [...] Kilian is a great book when you want to understand how an electro mechanical device or system works. The book has adequate and well illustrated examples. After reading this book, you will feel you are ready to start designing and building your own devices and systems with confidence!
