Building Electronics

Abstract

Building electronics is the modern name of the auxiliary electrical systems which include systems that use electrical power to generate, process, store, or transmit information. The versatility and low cost of microprocessors had led to the majority of modern controllers being based on digital techniques rather than the traditional analog circuit. Networks of such controllers are very commonly used in the building automation systems. Programmable Logic controllers are microprocessor based devices designed to replace sets of relays for control of sequencing in industrial processes. In addition to the traditional telephone systems, community antenna systems, satellite systems, fiber optic systems and computer networks had been installed into modern buildings.
