This book presents modeling methods, implementation details, and problem-solving techniques to improve loop performance and product quality; examines the auto-tuning and adaptation features of several commercial controllers; and provides measures for dealing with specific challenges, such as reset windup, long process dead times, and oscillatory systems. 

This comprehensive review of process instrument calibration provides a foundation for understanding the principles and applications of the most frequent tasks that a technician performs. It also serves as an excellent study guide for the Calibration domain in CCST certification.

This up-to-date work on final control elements presents theoretical and practical information in an easy, conversational style, which makes it an excellent reference for experienced instrument and process engineers as well as students who are new to the field.

This practical guide developed by Dave Polka, an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience, is an invaluable resource for design engineers, automation and control specialists, maintenance technicians, and students. The basic theories of AC and DC drives haven’t changed but the technology certainly has, and this new edition takes a fresh look at how market demands have advanced motor and drive technology to lead the industry in new directions.

This best-seller now comes with a “carry-in-the-toolbox” aid designed for those who tune controllers as part of their day-to-day tasks. This aid provides easy access to parameters and calculations needed to tune feedback controllers and covers topics such as improving as-found tuning and making corrections for dead time and non-cascade control. 

Providing a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art Collaborative Process Automation Systems (CPAs), this book discusses topics such as engineering, security, enterprise connectivity, advanced process control, plant asset management, and operator efficiency. Collaborating with other industry experts, the author covers the system architecture and infrastructure required for a CPAS, as well as important standards like OPC and the ISA-95 Series of Standards.

In this second edition, various problems of alarm systems are covered with precise guidance on how they come about and how to effectively correct them.  This second edition is filled with good examples and explanations of procedures, with practical lists and tips on how one should proceed. It is based on hundreds of successful projects.

The use of cyber warfare as a prelude or substitute for conventional attacks has gone from conjecture to reality. The obvious targets of such assaults are a nation’s defense establishment, critical infrastructure, corporate intellectual property, government databases, and production capabilities. The author provides a unique approach to securing one of those targets: industrial automation and control systems.

This book provides an excellent description of the design phase of the SIS safety lifecycle as defined in IEC 61511:2016. It focuses on the fundamental concepts, starting with a description of the entire safety lifecycle process and then explaining how the design steps—from conceptual design through design verification—fit into that process.

“Understanding the safety life cycle…isn’t enough to implement a safety system. You also need to know how to design, install, commission, and operate one, and to have access to real-world examples,” says author Simon Lucchini. This book provides just that: real-world examples of designing, installing, commissioning, programming, managing, and maintaining safety instrumented systems.

Operators must be able to monitor what is in their charge, understand the information presented, and plan and actualize needed changes. To be successful, they must have the necessary tools to manage situations. This book provides a comprehensive approach to developing a working solution to the situation management problem. 

This new edition of the best-selling, best-practice handbook by 30+ year industry veteran Diane Barkin focuses on helping control systems technicians (CSTs) understand their roles in starting up new plants and systems. It prepares them for the high-pressure demands and fast-emerging challenges by familiarizing them with the entire process.
