Theoretical and practical aspects of machine building facilities management are considered. A conceptual control scheme, types of control objects from the point of view of external influences, signals and methods of controlling various objects are presented. Discrete and continuous control systems are considered for the presented types of objects, microprocessor control systems are described separately. Control systems based on programmable logic controllers are described. Classification is given and elements for creating various control systems are described in detail: sensors, input converters, control systems and devices, output converters, drives and actuators.
