| Overview: Delve into the components, circuits, instruments, and control techniques being used in today's high-tech process control technology field! Ideal for technicians who will be installing, troubleshooting, repairing, tuning, and calibrating these devices in a process control facility, this outstanding book fosters both an understanding and appreciation for the instrumentation and process control field. The author employs an easy reading style that creatively sidesteps high-level math while providing learners with an in-depth, practical application approach to essential process control concepts. Topics surveyed include such essential industrial automation control techniques as On/Off, PID, Ratio, Cascade, Feedforward, Adaptive, and more. Features:
Uses a practical and minimal-math approach to industrial control techniques, such as on-off, PID, ratio, cascade, feedforward, adaptive, and time proportioning.
A chapter on Instrumentation Calibration and Controller Tuning describes how to perform calibration procedures on instruments, and how to properly tune controllers.
Follows a systems approach to understanding industrial process control systems. The text introduces block diagrams of an industrial control system and then expands on the function of measurement devices, instruments, and control techniques.
