Includes bibliographical references and index.

This volume focuses on the fundamental areas which form the basis for the field of industrial electronics. Because of the breadth of this field, the knowledge required spans a wide spectrum of technology that includes analog and digital circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, machines and signal processing. The Industrial Electronics Handbook, Second Edition combines traditional and newer, more specialized knowledge that will help industrial electronics engineers develop practical solutions for the design and implementation of high-power applications. Embracing the broad technological scope of the field, this collection explores fundamental areas, including analog and digital circuits, electronics, electromagnetic machines, signal processing, and industrial control and communications systems. It also facilitates the use of intelligent systems-such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, and evolutionary methods-in terms of a hierarchical structure that makes factory control and supervision more efficient by addressing the needs of all production components. Enhancing its value, this fully updated collection presents research and global trends as published in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics Journal, one of the largest and most respected publications in the field. Fundamentals of Industrial Electronics covers the essential areas that form the basis for the field. This volume presents the basic knowledge that can be applied to the other sections of the handbook. Topics covered include: Circuits and signals Devices Digital circuits Digital and analog signal processing Electromagnetics Other volumes in the set: Power Electronics and Motor Drives Control and Mechatronics Industrial Communication Systems Intelligent Systems
