        Automation technology

        by Norbert Becker

        In this standard work, the automation technology is illustrated from a practical point of view with many examples and numerous pictures. Students of engineering sciences, as well as engineers and technicians in training and professional practice, are able to work independently on the state of the art. The additional or revised chapters on machine safety, safety in process engineering systems, explosion protection and configuration extend the book considerably. For almost every chapter there are comprehension questions and exercises, the solution of which is contained in the appendix. Programming exercises, which are provided free of charge online, make it possible to solve simple automation problems in a practical way. Content: introduction Measuring technology, setting technology controls automation components Practical control technology Examples of overriding requirements for automation components (safety in mechanical engineering and process engineering, explosion protection), Project planning (project implementation, R & I flow diagrams, equipment identification) Annex (ARW measures, adjustment rules, solutions)

        Practical Guide for Electrical Connectors

        The reference book for device development and the use of electrical connectors

        by Herbert Endres

        This book is a reference work for equipment designers and the use of connectors therein. Every designer and consumer receives answers to questions about design, materials, physical basics, contact surfaces, shielding practices, housing and locking designs and applications. Special chapters highlight the most prominent disciplines for electrical connectors: power electronics on one extreme and high data rates on the other. Finally, various technologies in the production process of electronic assemblies and basic selection criteria for electrical connectors are examined. Even though the market is very large with more than 1000 connector manufacturers, the book gives the user assistance in finding the best connector for the application. From the content: What is a connector The connector components Different termination technologies Insulator materials The contact materials The contact point Various contact surfaces The contact resistance Shielding techniques The locking systems of the connectors Housing and mechanics Why are new connectors being developed? Connectors in power electronics Connector for high data rates Further processing of the connectors in the manufacturing process The connector selection Connector database access in the accompanying online service InfoClick
