This book is structured to provide an introductory course of basic hydraulics system and programmable logic controller. Technological advances in recent years have resulted in the development of powerful programmable logic controller and caused a revolution of control engineering. Therefore, learning and acquiring knowledge about control systems become increasingly important for designers, engineers, technologists, system integrators and entrepreneurs.
This book aims to enable the readers to
* acquire the basic knowledge about hydraulic systems and controls.
* a basic understanding of internal architecture and operating principles of PLCs
* understand the processing of inputs and outputs of PLCs
* develop ladder programs to control of hydraulic systems.
