460+ Illustrated Systems for Electrical, HVAC, Fire Alarm, PLC, SCADA, Enterprise Networks & Radio Communications

By: Applied Engineering Group

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Are you an engineer, technician, student, or field professional who learns best by seeing? This is the visual engineering reference you have been looking for.

The Engineering Drawing Vault delivers one of the largest collections of practical engineering illustrations ever assembled in a single reference volume. With more than 460 professionally illustrated diagrams, schematics, system layouts, and technical drawings spanning eight critical engineering disciplines, this book belongs on every engineer's desk, in every classroom, and in every field kit.

This comprehensive visual reference covers eight major engineering systems in one volume:

• Electrical Engineering Systems: Power distribution diagrams, one-line diagrams, wiring schematics, circuit layouts, NEC code references, panel schedules, and electrical system overviews
• HVAC Systems: Duct layout diagrams, air handling unit schematics, refrigeration cycle illustrations, chiller plant diagrams, ventilation system layouts, and mechanical system overviews
• Fire Alarm and Life Safety Systems: Fire alarm riser diagrams, initiating device layouts, notification appliance circuit drawings, sprinkler system tie-ins, NFPA-referenced schematics, and emergency system diagrams
• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC): PLC architecture diagrams, ladder logic illustrations, I/O wiring configurations, industrial control system layouts, and automation network diagrams
• SCADA Systems: SCADA architecture overviews, HMI interface illustrations, remote terminal unit diagrams, communication network layouts, data acquisition system schematics, and control center designs
• Enterprise IT Infrastructure: Network topology diagrams, data center layouts, server rack configurations, cloud architecture illustrations, virtualization framework diagrams, and cybersecurity system overviews
• Radio and Communications Systems: RF system block diagrams, antenna configuration illustrations, signal propagation diagrams, repeater system layouts, trunked radio network schematics, and wireless communication architecture drawings
• Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Revit: 3D coordination model illustrations, Revit view diagrams, clash detection visuals, multi-discipline coordination drawings, and BIM workflow overviews

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

• Licensed professional engineers and engineers in training (EIT)
• Electrical, mechanical, fire protection, and systems engineers
• HVAC technicians, electricians, and field service professionals
• PLC programmers and industrial automation specialists
• SCADA engineers and control systems technicians
• IT infrastructure engineers and network architects
