ENGINEERING MANUAL OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL

FOREWORD

The Minneapolis Honeywell Regulator Company published the first edition of the Engineering Manual of

Automatic Control in l934. The manual quickly became the standard textbook for the commercial building

controls industry. Subsequent editions have enjoyed even greater success in colleges, universities, and contractor

and consulting engineering offices throughout the world.

Since the original 1934 edition, the building control industry has experienced dramatic change and made

tremendous advances in equipment, system design, and application. In this edition, microprocessor controls are

shown in most of the control applications rather than pneumatic, electric, or electronic to reflect the trends in

industry today. Consideration of configuration, functionality, and integration plays a significant role in the

design of building control systems.

Through the years Honeywell has been dedicated to assisting consulting engineers and architects in the

application of automatic controls to heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems. This manual is an outgrowth

of that dedication....
