(BK-758) INDUSTRIAL MOTOR CONTROL FUNDAMENTALS. McIntyre, R. L. & Losee, R. 4th ed. 1990. 356p. ISBN 0-07-045110-9. This book, an introduction to electric motors and their controls, is written for students training to be industrial electricians or technicians. The text assumes that you have a working knowledge of electricity and can solve mathematical problems by using simple formulas. The text also provides you with the practical foundations of the subject, together with any additional electrical or mathematical theories required to understand the discussions. Although the text discusses the historical bases of machines and methods, its emphasis is on modern equipment and practices. Wherever appropriate, reference is made to actual equipment likely to be found in the modern industrial environment. Attention focuses on widespread use of magnetically operated (relay) controls as well as on some older solid-state equipment. A systems approach to used to illustrate the close relationship between rotating equipment and control devices. Process systems are similarly utilized to integrate machines and their controls. Although integrated circuits and microprocessors are rapidly dominating modern controls, their application and operation are closely related to the older relay and contractor equipment and circuits. The use of the microprocessor in programmable controllers has had a dramatic impact on controls of all types. One chapter focuses on this subject and uses a number of well-known commercial P.C.s as examples. No text on controls would be complete without a discussion of digital logic and boolean algebra. The application of these two subjects is as pertinent to relay and contactor circuits as it is to solid-state electronic circuits.
