Brings order into the chaos of the claims of competing networks and buses
Proposes international standardization for all digital systems
Presents fully open and completely interoperable networks
Covers not only the American, but the global market for digital networks
Provides quick access to specific information via an excellent index
The third volume in a three-volume set the Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Third Edition: Process Software and Digital Networks provides an in-depth, state-of-the-art review of existing and evolving digital communications and control systems. While the book highlights the transportation of digital information by buses and networks, the total coverage doesn't stop there. It describes a variety of process-control software packages suited for plant optimization, maintenance, and safety related applications. In addition, topics include plant design and modernization, safety and operations related logic systems, and the design of integrated workstations and control centers. The book concludes with an appendix providing practical information such as bidders lists and addresses, steam tables, materials selection for corrosive services, and much more.
If you buy the three-volume set of the Instrument Engineers Handbook, you will have everything a process control engineer or instrumentation technician needs. If you buy Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Third Edition: Process Software and Digital Networks you will have at your fingertips all the software and digital network related information that is needed by I&C engineers. It will be the resource you reach for over and over again.
