Product Description

Product Description
This book provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the application of electronic control systems in mechanical and electrical engineering. It gives a framework of knowledge that allows engineers and technicians to develop an interdisciplinary understanding and integrated approach to engineering.

This second edition has been updated and expanded to provide greater depth of coverage. It is split into five main sections: basic system elements, actuation, system models, basic digital principles, and microprocessor systems. It concludes with a chapter on design, design solutions and case studies.

Mechatronics is essential reading for all HNC/HND and undergraduate students studying mechatronics. It covers the BTEC Mechatronics A and B Units (1413G and 1414G) and also provides the depth of coverage required for undergraduate courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very informative and well constructed introductory book, 1 April 2001
By A Customer
Mechatronics : Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering by Bolton is, as usual, a very interesting, informative and easily read book on the subject of Mechatronics. I had used many of Bolton's books during my HND in Mechatronics and found that the text supplemented my lectures and sometimes went some way to providing more clarity through the use of diagrams and his excellent writing style. I purchased a copy and am now using it for my BSc Mechatronics, however I believe this book to be vital to any student or practicing engineer in either Mechatronics, Electronics or Mechanical engineering disciplines.The present edition (2nd) is much improved and covers many topic areas including a brief discussion on the Mechatronics philosophy / method, sensors and actuators, Control Systems, PLC's, programming languages (Assembly and C), and Microcontrollers. The books also includes case study material and an introduction to Laplace Transforms. All od these topics being totally relevant to integrated systems engineering.

He also makes reference to other texts which gives further more detailed explanations of topics covered in his book, of which some are his own books.

This book has served me well in the past and I recommend that every engineering student should have a copy on their bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential on your bookshelf, 18 Mar 2003
Excellent book covering a range of subjects that would require a whole series of books to gain the same information. Essential for students in mechatronics or control engineering and at a reasonable price.
