Mechatronics by Ganesh S. Hegde

Mechatronics integrates key systems from mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computer engineering to manufacture industrial products, processes, and operations. Intended as a textbook for courses in mechatronics or for use as an up-to-date reference for practicing engineers, this book provides extensive in-text, solved examples to cover the basic concepts. It contains information from both the theoretical and application perspectives related to mechatronic systems. The self-explanatory block diagrams and illustrations show the reader how to develop systems with motors, circuits, microprocessors, and controls. A CD-ROM with simulation software and third-party contributions accompanies the text.
