Abstract: It has been practical for some time to use electronic systems to duplicate the control effects that can be produced with pneumatics. The refinement of solid state electronics has given a decided economic edge to the electronic systems over the pneumatic. Now the Integrated Circuit (IC) has increased the electronic advantage with a combination of lower cost and higher reliability. In addition to the lower cost and higher reliability, the electronics has the advantage of almost instant transmission of signals to remote locations, and the signal is easily adapted to a variety of control systems. The electronic systems can be monitored and controlled by microprocessors. The instrument technician needs to have an understanding of electricity and electronics to maintain and operate electronic instrumentation properly. The complete theory of electronics is far beyond the scope of this paper and will not be attempted. The basic theory used in this paper is only to the depth to explain the general concepts.
