Dear Sir, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently a university student pursuing a degree in Control and Automation Engineering. I would like to seek advice from experienced professional engineers, or those who have at least had practical experience in this field, regarding a book titled "Electric Circuits," 10th edition, by James W. Nilsson and Susan Riedel. The contents of the book’s chapters are as follows: 1. Circuit Variables 2. Circuit Elements 3. Simple Resistive Circuits 4. Techniques of Circuit Analysis 5. The Operational Amplifier 6. Inductance, Capacitance, and Mutual Inductance 7. Response of First-Order RL and RC Circuits 8. Natural and Step Responses of RLC Circuits 9. Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis 10. Sinusoidal Steady-State Power Calculations 11. Balanced Three-Phase Circuits 12. Introduction to the Laplace Transform 13. The Laplace Transform in Circuit Analysis 14. Introduction to Frequency Selective Circuits 15. Active Filter Circuits 16. Fourier Series 17. The Fourier Transform 18. Two-Point Circuits My question is: Do I need to learn all the material from every chapter of this book in order to perform the tasks of a Control and Automation Engineer? Additionally, what steps should I take in my learning journey? I sincerely appreciate any guidance or suggestions you can provide.
Thanks for this Chris. I recently purchased Pogecad and I’m working my way around it (when I can make time to practice) but if I had a template like you are using with the commonly used circuits symbols available to copy and paste etc. it would give me a massive boost. Is there any chance you could send me a bare template to speed up my learning please? Thanks in advance Lee Hewitt.
When I was working at heat & control they made use loom wires with plastic wire looms (same we used on small VSD drivers) Was a neat appearance either way!
These are great videos! Thank you for putting these out. I work with automation and controls, I greatly appreciate getting to see other ways to do the same work. Thank you!
Hey, love your content! I’ve done similar installs using thermostats for fan coils over Modbus RTU, like SIEMENS RDF302. You can partially lock the keypad, set limits on the setpoint, even stop the fan coil from running, and more.230VAC power part is just between the thermostat and the fan coil. Keep it up with the channel!
Thanks for sharing this sir 👍 2:14 If L1 has a voltage of 120v, how con it power a 230v socket ? 13:32 The T1/1 relay has 2 separate 24v cables going into it, with one of these directly connected to the 0v end, not sure i understand why it is energised if there is already a push button to do so at will ?? thanks in advance
I don't know exactly where u are, but here in the U.S., for the most part, electricians make way more money than other trades. I'm a licensed electrician and also do industrial controls and commercial EMS. Controls isn't easy, but obtaining an electrical license was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. You not only have to know Electrical Theory, you have to also know Motor and other low voltage Controls, Fire alarms, CCTV, Networking, AND Contractor Business Law just to obtain a license. Anyone who obtains an Electrical license can EASILY do controls. It's just a matter of familiarizing yourself with the hardware and its functions. There's an almost 80% failure rate for electrical licenses in the U.S., that's because you have to basically be familiar with all aspects of the field. Low and high voltage scenarios. I found Peogramming PLCs and Fire Suppression systems to be a bit of a pain, but other than that, nothing has been more difficult than obtaining the electrical license itself, it's literally the toughest contractor license exam in the world.
This was a great video. I follow you on IG. I’m on a similar path. I started in my AV industry about 17.5 years ago. Spent the first 10 years working for a company where I ultimately felt taken advantage of with my wages and work rate. I left. Salary went up. Training got better. Then I was a weekend warrior, never seeing my friends or families because I was working full time then my side jobs. Eventually 4 years ago I was layed off due to covid and went all in with my business. I made short term goals, get a van, hire an employee, etc. I now have 4 technicians and an operations manager and 2 vans and working on a third truck. The stress is there but there is nothing quite like what you feel at the end of project that you and your team was able to carry out. Nice to see I’m not the only one!
please. I have a question that is the average salary fo an Automation Engineering in England and opportunities for promoting in businesses? i'm just being a freshman of a University in Vietnam...Thanks you for seeing and replying
