About this title

Synopsis

This book is for readers learning automatic control systems, focusing on a classic process loop with its four major blocks: the measuring sensor block, the controller block, the process adjustment block, and the process block. Design procedures include the selection of measuring sensors and control valves, illustrating to readers how sensors concentrate on the measurement of temperature, pressure, flow rate, level, and analysis of humidity and electrolytic conductivity. Chapter 1, Introduction to Process Measurement and Control, focuses on the process control loop using ISA symbols and block diagrams providing readers with easy reference of ISA symbols in typical Process and Instrumentation Diagrams. Question and problem sets end each chapter helps readers to review and reinforce material discussed. Suggested practical lab assignments are provided at end of each chapter. An excellent reference for professionals in Electronic Technology and Mechanical Engineering fields.

From the Back Cover

Design, operation, and maintenance procedures are described. Design procedures include the selection of hardware and software, as well as applications to improve production and reduce costs. Operational procedures include monitoring the presented and recorded data to confirm satisfactory process operation, monitoring the achievement of cost goals, and ensuring that backup equipment functions correctly. Maintenance procedures include calibration of equipment, monitoring the effects of the environment on the system, and repairing equipment.
