Definition:

❑ Industrial Electronics - branch of electronics that deals with the

design, development and application of electronic devices, circuits, and
systems that drive the industry.

❑ Power electronics refers to control and conversion of electrical

power by power semiconductor devices wherein these devices operate
as switches. Advent of silicon-controlled rectifiers, abbreviated as
SCRs, led to the development of a new area of application called the
power electronics

Industrial Electronics Time Line:

❑ 1801 – Joseph Jacquard invents a textile machine that

is operated by punch cards.
❑ 1834 – Charles Babbage invents a numerical engine
that would later become the computer.
❑ 1890 – Nicola Tesla demonstrate the use of electronics
for the remote control of a model boat.
❑ 1892 – Seward Babbitt designs a motorized crane with
a gripper to remove ingots from furnace.
❑ 1900 – The introduction of the mercury arc rectifier and
metal tank rectifier.
❑ 1904 – Sir John Fleming develops the Fleming valve,
which is the vacuum tube rectifier.

Industrial Electronics Time Line:

❑ 1908 – Lee De Forest invented the vacuum tube

amplifier.
❑1928 – Electronic control of a DC motor is accomplished
using vacuum tubes.
❑1938 – German scientist Walter Schottky invents the
semiconductor diode.
❑1940s – Vacuum tubes began replacing mechanical
control circuits.
❑1941 – The first commercially made variable – speed AC
motor control system is developed. This system
varies the frequency of the motor by using Vacuum
tubes technology.

Industrial Electronics Time Line:

❑ 1947 – Three American scientists, John Bardeen,

Walter Brattain, and William Shockley, invent the
transistor.
❑ 1956 – The invention of the PNPN triggering transistor,
which defined as a thyristor.
❑ 1957 – The first solid – state variable speed motor
control system becomes commercially available
❑ 1958 – The second electronics revolution began - new
era of power electronics. Jean Hoermi, Jack Kilby and
Robert Noyce developed the integrated circuit (IC).
❑ 1960 – Semiconductor devices such as thyristors began
replacing TV technology especially for motor control.

Industrial Electronics Time Line:

❑ 1968 – Engineers at General Motors developed the first

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
❑ 1970 – The development of microprocessor led to the
invention of the PLC. (Ted Hoff invents
microprocessor)
❑ 1977 – Apple, Radio Shack and Commodore
introduced PC for home and office automation.
❑ 1986 – Robotics Technology began.
❑ 1994 – 64 – bit microprocessor commercially available

Industrial Electronics Time Line:

❑ 1998 – Tag – based programmable logic controllers start

to be adopted by industry.
❑ 2000 – Device networks like DeviceNet, Foundation
Field bus, Profibus, and Ethernet/IP are adopted
frequently by industry.
❑ 2001 – Wireless networks find broader application in
automation.

Manufacturing System Classification:

• Project
– complex products with many parts and one of
a kind
– examples are oil refineries, large office
buildings, cruise ships, and large aircrafts
• Job Shop
– non complex products with few parts and
small production volume
– combinations of manual and machines
production

FroydWess - Online Notes

Manufacturing System Classification:

• Repetitive
– orders for repeat business with multiple – year
contracts on products
– production quantity is high
– Automated processes
– examples: components for the automotive
industry, water pumps, alternators, and
transmissions

Manufacturing System Classification:

• Line
– delivery time required by the customer is often
shorter than the total time it takes to build the
product
– with many options or model products
– inventory of subassemblies is present
– large manual labor and automation
components
– example: automotive production

Manufacturing System Classification:

• Continuous
– manufacturing system that is never
interrupted
– highly automated system with little manual
labor
– examples: canned goods, breakfast cereal,
soft drinks, mouthwash, toothpaste, etc.
