This book has evolved from supplemental materials used by the author in teaching laboratory based integrated manufacturing courses since 1993. It is designed to focus on topics relevant to the modern manufacturer, while avoiding topics that are more research oriented. This allows the chapters to focus on the applicable theory for the integrated systems, and then discuss implementation.
Many of the chapters of this book use the Linux operating system. Some might argue that Microsoft products are more pervasive, and so should be emphasized, but this must be objected. It is much easier to implement a complex system in Linux, and once implemented the system is more reliable, secure and easier to maintain.

This is a manuscript for a PLC based control system book that is currently being used for teaching an undergraduate controls course - Manufacturing Controls. The course and book focus on the Allen Bradley family of controllers, thus allowing a deeper topic coverage than is normal in PLC books.
