Engineers' prayers answered with new book
"Basic Math for Process Control" presents a practical tutorial on the mathematics essential to the process control field: this book will be the answer to many an engineer's prayer!
This book takes a unique lifecycle approach to fieldbus technology by providing information for all phases of the system from engineering to device and strategy configuration, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, operation, and maintenance.
The advent of fieldbus technology has made possible a wide range of new capabilities throughout every level of the control system that had not previously been possible or fully explored.
These new capabilities bring benefits that translate into savings at various stages in the system lifecycle, as early as the time of deployment, during operation, and even at future decommissioning.
This book includes information on these benefits to help readers justify the business advantages to management.
It covers savings such as lower cost of purchase, construction savings, maintenance savings, and operation savings.
Fieldbuses for Process Control also provides in-depth information about the three leading process fieldbus technologies: HART, Foundation Fieldbus, and Profibus-PA.
The author, Jonas Berge, explains how these fieldbus technologies work, and he exposes the similarities, differences, and capabilities of each fieldbus technology.
The book also covers both field-level and the Ethernet-based host-level networking and addresses concerns and solutions for interoperability, integration, and migration, as well as availability and safety.
It concludes with a chapter on how fieldbuses work.
This book is the complete fieldbus technology reference for system designers, control engineers, and technicians, and for process engineers who will benefit from learning about the capabilities of fieldbus technologies.
End of chapter exercises make this book ideal for both organised training and self-study.
Fieldbuses for Process Control is available from American Technical Publishers and sells for £84 (sterling).
