This book, "Arduino VII: Industrial Control," is an accessible primer on industrial control and programmable logic controller concepts for those without a deep instrumentation background. An understanding of basic circuit theory is an appropriate prerequisite for the book. The three main goals for the book are: explore accessible Arduino Opta industrial control products; learn the fundamentals of programming using ladder logic; and explore related sensors and interface concepts. We use multiple examples throughout the book and conclude with an instrumented greenhouse project.

In addition, this book: 

• Uses the Arduino open-source microcontroller platform to design/implement industrial control applications
• Includes practical, hands-on exercises throughout the book, as well as end-of-chapter extended Applications
• Includes motivating and fun examples to demonstrate topics being introduced
