As industrial processes become more and more automated, Air Logic Control (ALC) becomes increasingly important. As the use of ALC becomes more widespread, the need for designers, engineers, and technicians with a working knowledge of ALC technology grows significantly. Air Logic Control for Automated Systems provides the means for anyone involved with control systems to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to implement and maintain ALC for automated manufacturing.The author focuses on the two types of ALC most often encountered: fluidics and Moving Parts Logic (MPL). He provides a thorough background on the subject, including the properties of compressible fluids, the fundamentals of pneumatics, and the fundamentals of logic systems, then delves into both moving parts and non-moving parts concepts and components. He discusses signal transmission, communications, electrical and electronic devices, plus the symbology, schematics, and flow diagrams related to ALC, and offers a complete overview of ALC system design. With this background established, the author presents three case studies of increasing complexity: a press control system, a parts sorting system, and a bottle filling system. These studies each offer a different approach to problem-solving and together they illustrate the alternative methods available in practice.Air Logic Control for Automated Systems thus offers technicians, engineers, and designers the foundation for understanding ALC. Armed with this knowledge, they are equipped to handle any number of implementation, programming, maintenance, and troubleshooting tasks with confidence.

随着工业过程变得越来越自动化，空气逻辑控制（ALC）变得越来越重要。随着ALC的使用越来越广泛，对具有ALC技术工作知识的设计师、工程师和技术人员的需求也大大增加。自动化系统的空气逻辑控制》为任何参与控制系统的人提供了获得知识和技能的途径，他们需要在自动化生产中实施和维护ALC。作者重点介绍了最常遇到的两种ALC：流体学和移动部件逻辑（MPL）。他提供了关于这个主题的全面背景，包括可压缩流体的特性、气动学的基础知识和逻辑系统的基础知识，然后深入探讨了移动部件和非移动部件的概念和组件。他讨论了信号传输、通信、电气和电子设备，加上与ALC相关的符号学、原理图和流程图，并提供了ALC系统设计的完整概述。有了这个背景，作者提出了三个复杂程度越来越高的案例研究：一个压力机控制系统，一个零件分拣系统，以及一个瓶子灌装系统。这些研究分别提供了解决问题的不同方法，并一起说明了实践中可用的替代方法。《自动化系统的空气逻辑控制》因此为技术人员、工程师和设计师提供了理解ALC的基础。掌握了这些知识，他们就有能力自信地处理任何数量的实施、编程、维护和故障排除任务。
