ISA’s all-time best-selling book has been praised for its clear presentation of the principles of process automation and its excellent overview of advanced control techniques. More than just a reference book, the 15 self-study units provide a solid foundation in theory, as well as a discussion on computer-integrated manufacturing, statistical process control, and expert systems. Both theoretical and practical, this guide lets readers teach themselves the fundamental scientific principles that govern process control, particularly feedback control. This third edition emphasizes the conceptual framework for an application, offering a practical understanding of the theory, along with specific illustrations on how concepts are implemented, along with exercises and answers to further the reader’s knowledge and understanding. Appendices include a glossary of terms, graphic symbols for process measurement and control, and solutions to all exercises.
