Synopsis

Updated to reflect new digital technology and the growing specialization and complexity in the field, this is a practical introduction to applied process control concepts, design, and technology. This new edition now features a chapter devoted entirely to the control of discrete-state processing systems. The text provides a good practical and theoretical understanding of stability and mode characteristics, and practical, design- level guidelines for measurement, electronic, pneumatic, and mechanical features of process-control loops. It also covers actual system elements, including measurement methods, signal conditioning, and final control elements, employing just the mathematics necessary to design loop elements to satisfy specifications. The previous edition of this book was published in 1982.

Présentation de l'éditeur

For Sophomore/Junior-level courses in Automatic Control Systems, Process Controls, and Instrumentation and Measurement.

 

This text is designed to provide students with an understanding and appreciation of some of the essential concepts behind control system elements and operations, without the need of advanced math and theory. It also presents some of the practical details of how elements of a control system are designed and operated, such as would be gained from on-the-job experience. This edition includes treatment of modern fieldbus approaches to networked and distributed control systems. This middle ground of knowledge enables students to design the elements of a control system from a practical, working perspective, and comprehend how these elements affect overall system operation and tuning.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The new edition of this book ahs been strengthened for analog and digital controls and for programmable logic controllers.
