About the Book

This time- and course-tested book is designed to familiarize readers with the concepts of electricity and electronics as they pertain to industrial measurement and control. And this new fourth edition is accompanied by a lab workbook containing exercises that are designed to approximate "real-life" applications found in vocational, industrial, and occupational areas. As a student-centered resource, this book emphasizes practical application. Where mathematics and algebraic concepts are covered, clear explanations are provided so readers can comprehend processes and solutions without having to perform any complex operations or mathematics. However, an understanding of basic math is required to fully absorb the material found in this book. Particular attention is given to ensuring safe and successful measurement of electrical quantities and a solid understanding of digital and analog meters, bridges, power supplies, solid state circuitry, oscilloscopes, and analog-to-digital convertors. Illustrations and exercises are utilized to better explain concepts and applications and to support the readers' understanding.

About the Author :
Lawrence (Larry) M. Thompson was the owner and general manager of ESdat Co. (Electronic Systems: development and training company), a consulting firm specializing in industrial data communications. Throughout his distinguished career, Thompson was a technician, technical trainer, and course developer in electron-ics, measurement/control, and computer networking. A 20-year veteran of the US Air Force, Thompson specialized in maintaining electronic encryption equipment during his service. His post-military industrial experience included positions as a technician, test engineer, and test engineering supervisor for numerous companies. Thompson held a bachelor's degree in applied arts and science from Tarleton State University and worked on a master's degree in computer science at the University of Texas. He retired from his role as Department Chair for E-Commerce Technology at Texas State Technical College to run his own consulting business full time. He was an adjunct instructor for the International Society of Automation (ISA) for over 35 years. He wrote several books, including ISA's Industrial Data Communications and Basic Electrics/Electronics for Control, and was a Certified Automation Professional (CAP). Dean Ford, CAP, PE, is the Managing Principal Engineer at Luminary Automation and Engineering, LLC, a firm he cofounded. His entire 25-plus-year career has involved automation systems engineering and consulting. Initially stumbling into the profession via a co-op opportunity at Anheuser-Busch in 1994, he fell in love with the auto-mation. Ford is a licensed Control Systems Engineer in 24 states and a Certified Automation Professional (CAP). He is a senior member of the International Society of Automation (ISA) and participates in many industry standards committees. He is an active member of many industry groups, including the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the Water Environment Federation (WEF), the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN), the Government Relations and Workforce Development com-mittees for the Automation Federation, and the AWWA Water Utility Technology and Automation Committee (WUTAC). Ford holds a BS in electrical engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology and an Executive MBA from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. Ford was presented with the opportunity to continue the legacy of Larry Thompson's work after Thompson passed in 2020. He is honored to continue the work Thompson started and to continue teaching automation professionals the foundational skills required to make them well-rounded automation professionals.
