Preface:

Over the past couple of decades, the academic community has made significant advances in developing educational materials and laboratory exercises for fundamental mechatronics and controls education. Students learn mathematical control theory, board-level electronics, interfacing, and microprocessors supplemented with educational laboratory equipment. As new mechanical and electrical engineering graduates become practicing engineers, many are engaged in projects where knowledge of industrial motion control technology is an absolute must since industrial automation is designed primarily around specialized motion control hard ware and software. This book is an introduction to industrial motion control, which is a widely used technology found in every conceivable industry. It is the heart of just about any automated machinery and process. Industrial motion control applications use specialized equipment and require system design and integration where control is just one aspect. To design such systems, engineers need to be familiar with industrial motion control products; be able to bring together control theory, kinematics, dynamics, electronics, simulation, programming and machine design; apply interdisciplinary knowledge; and deal with practical application issues. Most of these topics are already covered in engineering courses in typical undergraduate curricula but in a compartmentalized nature, which makes it difficult to grasp the connections between them.
