Data are the key to information, information provides knowledge and knowledge drives action. This, generally valid, idea has been applied in the majority of industrial systems via the so-called industrial communication technology. This paper describes the subject of industrial and building networking by means of a laboratory-based course developed at the University of Patras - Greece. The course contains...
The reciprocating internal combustion engine is by far the most common form of engine or prime mover. As with most engines, the usual aim is to achieve a high work output with a high efficiency, and hence, control design is imperative. Subsequently, essential is the existence of a simulation model in order to give designer the ability to explore the merits of alternative designs without physically...

In tunnel-type industrial furnaces there are various subsystems concerning either the temperature regulation or the air flow and pressure. These subsystems are usually controlled by conventional techniques and controllers offering simply an acceptable operation of the whole system. This paper presents design and implementation of a fuzzy control scheme for supervising coordination of the individual...
The motion of the n-trailer either a multi-body robot or a train-like multi-articulated transportation vehicle is characterized by the deviation of the path of each intermediate trailer from that of the leading one (off-tracking). This paper proposes different controllers for the elimination of this undesirable phenomenon. By using a sliding kingpin technique that allows articulated semi-trailers...
