Chapter 1
1 Industrial electronics deals with
• PLCs – computers for industry
• Sensors – eyes for PLC
• Actuators – hands for PLC
• Controllers – PLC helper
• But not MATLAB which is the most popular
computing tool for engineers
2 Industrial revolution began mid-?
• 1500s – flush toilets, pocket watch, knitting machine, compound
microscope

• Continuous - produces the highest quality,
has the largest automation component and
has the highest need for workers with
skills in industrial electronics is:
30 Experience makes the
troubleshooter
• faster at the process
• better at guessing the fault
• both of these
31 Experienced troubleshooters
• take time to think and analyze system data
before springing to action
• are always busy measuring something
while they search for the fault
32 Regarding troubleshooting, in
most cases
• a single failure has occurred
• multiple system failures have occurred
• single failures and multiple failures each
occur about half of the time
33 Regarding software
troubleshooting, which one is NOT
true?
• Software failures are common.
• Computer programs almost never fail.
• Some knowledge of computer programs is
required for troubleshooting.
• Well documented software is important for
machine troubleshooting.
• Software with many inputs may fail due to
particular inputs.
