In the book, it is shown how the mathematical expressions obtained for the design of a control system are realized with the Simatic S7-200 family PLC using standard (IEC 61131) PLC languages (such as LAD, FBD). However, since the expression of the obtained logic functions in standard PLC languages is the same, it is also valid for PLC models of other companies that can be programmed with all standard PLC languages. Many examples in the book can be easily adapted and applied to other PLC models with simple editing.

İsmail Kıyak Lighting is a discipline that is necessary for all living things and determines the quality of life. In recent years, besides the obligatory use of lighting, its visuality is also considered important, and therefore the concept of lighting design has emerged. Lighting design is classified as industrial areas, highways and pedestrian roads, building facades, sports centers, shopping areas, historical areas and objects, parking lots, interior areas, and each has different parameters in accordance with standards. In lighting technology, it is desired that the design made outside of the technical details appeals to the eye. In today's lighting projects, it aims to make the environment safer, more comfortable and more efficient in terms of energy saving, by transforming the space it is in into an automation, not just lighting. In addition, lighting has been fully integrated into smart building systems and has played an active role in improving living conditions.
This book provides sectoral information for those who consider lighting as a profession to have an idea. It contains; the concept of light, types of lighting, design principles of lighting systems, lighting control techniques and principles, protocols used in lighting automation are explained and sample applications are included.

Emre Biçer, Muhsin Mazman, Cem Kaypmaz, Davut Uzun One of our biggest concerns in today's urban life is that our electronic gadgets run out of charge and that we cannot find wi-fi for the internet. The charging problem has made even the most novice user curious about battery-related issues.

Osman Okka Have technical knowledge and expertise in their field; The purpose of the engineer as a technical staff who produces goods and services in the enterprise by using people, machinery, equipment, materials, equipment and processes; To achieve maximum production by using inputs such as materials, resources, time and technology.
As long as limited and costly resources cannot be used optimally and the highest possible values ​​cannot be produced, a firm will fail in the market against its competitors and perhaps have to withdraw from the market. In order for the resources to be used optimally, the company must have an important technology, make its technological development a continuous process and be ahead of its competitors in technology. Every decision regarding the use of resources in the firm has an economic aspect. Resources must be used productively, that is, efficiently, and must provide maximum returns. For this reason, the engineer has to take all measures and apply the necessary methods for the efficient use of resources besides the management and in his field. The economic decisions taken may be short-term and long-term, and the expenditures will be short-term and long-term. If the economic decisions are short-term, that is, they cover a year, they are income expenditures, and if they cover more than one year, they are investment expenditures.
Engineer; How will it make income expenditures and investment expenditures, and how will it save on these expenditures? These are the subjects of engineering economics. Efficient use of resources, preparation of projects, making investments, executing the project and putting it into operation and similar processes continue throughout the life of the company and the engineer takes his place at every stage of the project. In this respect, it is very important to equip an engineer with knowledge of "Engineering Economics" and to act rationally. This work aims to give you this information.
