This book is derived out of several years of teaching a one-semester advanced undergraduate and postgraduate course on the subject by the authors at IIT Kharagpur. The course was designed to bridge a significant yet typical gap that exists in many electrical engineering curricula, namely that of exposure to control and automation technologies typically encountered in industrial environments. The book presents several new important topics such as New Control Architectures, Sequence Control, Industrial Actuators, etc. It will provide a valuable exposure to students on technologies that one is quite likely to encounter in one’s professional career in the core engineering sector.
