Troubleshooting feedback control loops is something all instrumentation and control system technicians must do, but that few truly master. In Troubleshooting: A Technician's Guide, William Mostia draws on long experience as a process control engineer and maintenance expert to provide a detailed look at the skills and knowledge required for troubleshooting. Interspersed with a wealth of practical detail and real-world examples are Mostia's no-nonsense discussions of what a good troubleshooter needs to know: • Basic principles of electricity and physics • Essentials of data communications and logic • Causes of failures • Techniques that engineers and technicians use to track failures down Here too are hints and troubleshooting aids, basic maintenance concepts, and information about training. Finally, Mostia provides examples of troubleshooting problems in mechanical systems, process connections, pneumatic systems, electrical systems, electronic systems, and valves. He explores calibration, programmable electronic systems, communication circuits, transient problems and software.
