Instrumentation and Control Systems

This book provides a first-level introduction to instrumentation and control engineering and as such is suitable for the BTEC units of Industrial Process Controllers and Industrial Plant and Process Control for the National Certificates and Diplomas in Engineering, and the unit Control Systems and Automation for the Higher National Certificates and Diplomas in Engineering and also providing a basic introduction to instrumentation and control systems for undergraduates. The book aims to give an appreciation of the principles of industrial instrumentation and an insight into the principles involved in control engineering. The book integrates actual hardware with theory and analysis, aiming to make the mathematics of control engineering as readable and approachable as possible.
