Industrial Automation from Scratch

Left arrow icon Right arrow icon

Key benefits

  • Learn the ins and outs of industrial automation and control by taking a pragmatic approach
  • Gain practical insights into automating a manufacturing process using PLCs
  • Discover how to monitor and control an industrial process using HMIs and SCADA

Description

Industrial automation has become a popular solution for various industries looking to reduce manual labor inputs and costs by automating processes. This book helps you discover the abilities necessary for excelling in this field. The book starts with the basics of industrial automation before progressing to the application of switches, sensors, actuators, and motors, and a direct on-line (DOL) starter and its components, such as circuit breakers, contactors, and overload relay. Next, you'll explore VFDs, their parameter settings, and how they can be wired and programmed for induction motor control. As you advance, you'll learn the wiring and programming of major industrial automation tools – PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA. You’ll also get to grips with process control and measurements (temperature, pressure, level, and flow), along with analog signal processing with hands-on experience in connecting a 4–20 mA transmitter to a PLC. The concluding chapters will help you grasp various industrial network protocols such as FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and HART, as well as emerging trends in manufacturing (Industry 4.0) and its empowering technologies (such as IoT, AI, and robotics). By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a practical understanding of industrial automation concepts for machine automation and control.

Who is this book for?

This book is for both graduates and undergraduates of electrical, electronics, mechanical, mechatronics, chemical or computer engineering, engineers making a career switch, or anyone looking to pursue their career in the field of industrial automation. The book covers topics ranging from basic to advanced levels, and is a valuable reference for beginner-level electrical, IIoT, automation, process, instrumentation and control, production, and maintenance engineers working in manufacturing and oil and gas industries, among others.

What you will learn

  • Get to grips with the essentials of industrial automation and control
  • Find out how to use industry-based sensors and actuators
  • Know about the AC, DC, servo, and stepper motors
  • Get a solid understanding of VFDs, PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA and their applications

I've worked in cybersecurity for years, and I was excited to read this book. In all fairness, I was hoping that Scratch was a tool that would help me link the various tools together and provide a network link. While that proved not to be true, this was a book I wished I had read years ago. The basics of the automation pieces that do exist and the integration is extremely valuable from production to security when dealing with industrial manufacturing.

As an Automation Technician with two years of hands-on experience with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), I’ve encountered my fair share of challenges and unanswered questions. It’s not every day that I come across a resource capable of not only addressing these questions but also enhancing my understanding of complex concepts in the field. This book is a rare find that has significantly broadened my knowledge and clarified numerous aspects of PLCs that were previously murky to me.The author’s approach to teaching is particularly noteworthy. The book methodically guides readers through the intricacies of PLCs by first laying down the foundational concepts, then reinforcing these with detailed schematics, diagrams, and photographs of actual components. This visual supplement to the theoretical explanations is invaluable, making it significantly easier to grasp how various parts connect and function in real-world applications.What sets this book apart is its ability to make sophisticated topics accessible and engaging. Whether you’re a novice just starting out in automation or, like me, a technician looking to deepen your expertise, this guide offers a wealth of knowledge presented in a clear and practical manner.I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone involved in or interested in the field of automation and PLCs. It’s a comprehensive resource that goes beyond the basics, providing insights and strategies that are sure to benefit its readers profoundly.
