This text focuses on electronic instrumentation schemes. It should provide designers with an understanding of the building blocks of control schemes, their characteristics, limitations and interface considerations so that they can structure their schemes appropriately to individual applications. The structure of control schemes is explained for applications engineers using applied schemes of various complexity.

Pneumatic, hydraulic and allied instrumentation schemes have given way to electronic schemes in recent years thanks to the rapid strides in electronics and allied areas. Principles, design and applications of such state-of-the-art instrumentation schemes form the subject matter of this book. Through representative examples, the basic building blocks of instrumentation schemes are identified and each of these building blocks discussed in terms of its design and interface characteristics. The common generic schemes synthesized with such building blocks are dealt with subsequently. This forms...
