Synopsis

Industrial automation is transforming how factories operate—but understanding the full system requires more than learning a single PLC platform.

Industrial Automation Handbook gives you a unified, platform-neutral guide to the technologies behind modern manufacturing. Whether you are an engineering student, technician, controls professional, or plant manager, this practical reference helps you understand how sensors, controllers, networks, machines, and software work together.

Inside, you will learn how to:

  • Understand open-loop, closed-loop, PID, batch, and distributed control systems
  • Select and apply sensors, actuators, control valves, motors, VFDs, and PLC hardware
  • Work with ladder logic, Structured Text, function blocks, and other IEC 61131-3 languages
  • Design effective HMI and SCADA architectures
  • Compare PLC, SCADA, and DCS applications
  • Navigate industrial protocols including Modbus TCP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, HART, and OPC UA
  • Understand robotics, motion control, machine vision, and collaborative robots
  • Apply functional safety, cybersecurity, commissioning, and troubleshooting principles
  • Explore IIoT, edge computing, digital twins, predictive maintenance, and smart manufacturing
  • Reinforce technical concepts with detailed black-and-white illustrations, summaries, appendices, and a comprehensive glossary

Organized across fifteen chapters and five progressive parts, this handbook connects foundational control theory with the equipment and practices used in real industrial environments. Its broad scope makes it useful both as a structured learning resource and as a desk reference you can revisit throughout your career.
