A programmable logic controllers (PLC) is a real-time system optimized for use in severe conditions such as high/low temperatures or an environment with excessive electrical noise. This control technology is designed to have multiple interfaces (I/Os) to connect and control multiple mechatronic devices such as sensors and actuators. Programmable Logic Controllers, Fifth Edition, continues to be a straight forward, easy-to-read book that presents the principles of PLCs while not tying itself to one vendor or another. Extensive examples and chapter ending problems utilize several popular PLCs currently on the market highlighting understanding of fundamentals that can be used no matter the specific technology. Ladder programming is highlighted throughout with detailed coverage of design characteristics, development of functional blocks, instruction lists, and structured text. Methods for fault diagnosis, testing and debugging are also discussed. This edition has been enhanced with new material on I/Os, logic, and protocols and networking. For the UK audience only: This book is fully aligned with BTEC Higher National requirements. *New material on combinational logic, sequential logic, I/Os, and protocols and networking *More worked examples throughout with more chapter-ending problems *As always, the book is vendor agnostic allowing for general concepts and fundamentals to be taught and applied to several controllers

Once it has outsourced its administrative functions and spun off its professional and career-prep degree programs, the post-industrial university will initially be a much smaller and more purposefully-focused enterprise than today's typical industrial-scale public university. But the mission of the new university will be large, for the new knowledge that it produces will not directly translate itself into human progress. In capitalist economies, new knowledge is made manifest in the marketplace. The most important consumer of the university's output in the Information Age will be society in general, as the public is made better aware of the opportunities, imperatives and constrained choices that lie ahead. By shedding their career training programs, post-industrial universities and their faculties will be able to focus on the institution's unique core function: public enlightenment. This special issue focuses on research into the plausible metamorphosis of higher education over the next 10 to 15 years in response to its changing demographic, economic and technologic circumstances, modeled on the multiple simultaneous transformations that are already well under way in the world of business.
