Automated Continuous Process Control

Beschreibung

Automated Continuous Process Control pulls together-in onecompact and practical volume-the essentials forunderstanding, designing, and operating process control systems.This comprehensive guide covers the major elements of processcontrol in a well-defined and ordered framework. Concepts areclearly presented, with minimal reliance on mathematical equationsand strong emphasis on practical, real-life examples. Beginning with the very basics of process control, AutomatedContinuous Process Control builds upon each chapter to help thereader understand and efficiently practice industrial processcontrol. This complete presentation includes: * A discussion of processes from a physical point of view * Feedback controllers and the workhorse in theindustry-the PID controller * The concept and implementation of cascade control * Ratio, override (or constraint), and selective control * Block diagrams and stability * Feedforward control * Techniques to control processes with long dead times * Multivariable process control Applicable for electrical, industrial, chemical, or mechanicalengineers, Automated Continuous Process Control offers provenprocess control guidance that can actually be used in day-to-dayoperations. The reader will also benefit from the companion CD-ROM,which contains processes that have been successfully used for manyyears to practice tuning feedback and cascade controllers, as wellas designing feedforward controllers.
