Kyiv, NTUU "KPI", 2007, 180s. : il. Librarian . : s. 174-180. Training. Student's Guide. Special. Hydraulics. and pneumatics. Mechanotronics Specialization Machines in Mechanical Engineering, Example. Hydroaeromechanics and mechanotronics . The principles of modular construction of mechanotronic systems and their connection with the technical means of discrete hydropneumatics. The formal means of describing systems and the effectiveness of their use in solving practical problems of structural synthesis. are analyzed. Examples of construction of the system structure and algorithm of the control program for the logical controller. are given. The manual is intended for in-depth study by students of the disciplines "Synthesis of discrete control systems", "Structural and modular synthesis of mechanotronic systems", "Programming of controllers in hydropneumatic systems" . Can be useful for graduate students and trainees of advanced training courses. The term Mechatronics (Mechatronics or Mechatronics) according to Japanese sources was introduced by Yaskawa Electric in 1969. and registered as a trademark in 1972. The term is derived from a combination of the words mechanics and electronics. The combination of these concepts expresses the integration of knowledge in the relevant fields of science and technology, which made it possible to make a qualitative leap in the creation of new generations of technology and the production of the latest types of systems and equipment.
