They exchange process data, report diagnostic information, store parameters, support automatic device replacement, communicate through industrial networks, and contribute to machine safety, maintenance, and production quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndustrial Sensors in Automation Systems\u003c\/b\u003e explains how sensors become part of a complete automation architecture-from the field device and remote I\/O station to the PLC, IO-Link master, industrial network, HMI, SCADA system, safety controller, and maintenance platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for maintenance technicians, automation engineers, electricians, machine builders, commissioning specialists, and students, this book focuses on the practical integration of sensors into real industrial systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, you will learn how to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrate digital, analog, and smart sensors with PLC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand PLC scan cycles, input filtering, timing, and signal quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigure and diagnose IO-Link devices and masters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork with PROFINET, EtherNet\/IP, remote I\/O, and industrial communication networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse device parameters, identification data, and automatic replacement functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreserve diagnostics from the field device to the HMI and SCADA system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrate encoders, RFID systems, vision sensors, and condition-monitoring devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand the role of safety sensors and safety-related signal processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnose communication faults, timing errors, unstable values, and lost device data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove commissioning, validation, documentation, and maintenance procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign systems that are easier to troubleshoot, expand, and support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book shows why a sensor may operate correctly while the machine still behaves incorrectly. A problem can be caused by delayed signals, incorrect addressing, network configuration, poor parameter management, weak diagnostics, PLC logic, or lost context between automation layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractical examples, comparison tables, diagnostic checklists, network concepts, commissioning methods, and real factory fault cases connect theory with everyday industrial work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central principle is simple: a sensor signal has value only when the complete system can acquire it, interpret it, trust it, diagnose it, and use it safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you are designing a new machine, commissioning an automation system, troubleshooting production failures, or modernizing an existing installation, \u003cb\u003eIndustrial Sensors in Automation Systems\u003c\/b\u003e provides a clear and practical guide to connecting field-level sensing with modern PLC control, industrial networks, safety systems, and smart diagnostics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veselin Madzharov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798187260003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Veselin Madzharov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49084321988863,"sku":"9798187260003","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/industrial-sensors-in-automation-systems-veselin-madzharov-9798187260003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
