Fieldbuses For Process Control: Engineering, Operation And Maintenance

This implementation-oriented book explains how to apply fieldbuses for process control. It offers “how-to” information for all phases of the system lifecycle, from engineering to maintenance, and addresses concerns and solutions for interoperability, migration, and safety. Coverage encompasses the three leading process fieldbus technologies, as well as both field-level and Ethernet-based host-level networking. A chapter on benefits will help engineers justify business advantages to management. The book will be useful for system designers, control engineers, and technicians. Author information is not given. This reprint is the first paperback edition of a book published in 2002. Annotation (c)2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
