Instrumentation and control systems / William Bolton

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Amsterdam : Elsevier Science, c2015Edition: Second editionDescription: xv, 341 pages : illustrations ; 28 cmISBN:
  • 9780081006139
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • TA 165 .B65 2015
Contents:
Measurement systems -- Instrumentation system elements --Measurement case studies -- Control systems -- Process controllers -- Correction elements -- PLC systems -- System models -- Transfer function -- System response -- Frequency response -- Nyquist diagrams -- Control systems
Summary: Instrumentation and Control Systems addresses the basic principles of modern instrumentation and control systems, including examples of the latest devices, techniques and applications in a clear and readable style. Unlike the majority of books in this field, only a minimal prior knowledge of mathematical methods is assumed. The book focuses on providing a comprehensive introduction to the subject, with Laplace presented in a simple and easily accessible form, complimented by an outline of the mathematics that would be required to progress to more advanced levels of study. Taking a highly practical approach, the author combines underpinning theory with numerous case studies and applications throughout, to enable the reader to apply the content directly to real-world engineering contexts. Coverage includes smart instrumentation, DAQ, crucial health and safety considerations, and practical issues such as noise reduction, maintenance and testing. PLCs and ladder programming is incorporated in the text, as well as new information introducing the various software programs used for simulation.
