Abstract :
The industrial electronics scene during 1987 is highlighted. Among the important trends are standard backplanes for programmable controllers; sensors with greater ruggedness and sensitivity; expert systems suitable for online application; and self-protecting power switches. An expert opinion is offered by Richard C. Born, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, who focuses on developments in sensors.<>
