✦ Synopsis

"The book offers a modern, process-oriented approach, emphasizing process control scheme development instead of extended coverage of LaPlace space descriptions of process dynamics. It provides mathematical descriptions to supplement basic concepts. It discusses real-time controllers and higher level automation functions for process and safety applications and shows how to specify simple regulatory and supervisory control strategies and basic safety automation controls and controls for continuous and batch processes. It covers measurement parameters and quantification methods and contains a chapter on control system projects and a recommended lifecycle for plant automation system projects."--Provided by publisher.
