As automation becomes more thoroughly networked with advances in speed, connectivity, and security; this fifth edition of an ISA best seller is still designed to give technical professionals with little or no background in data communications the knowledge they need to succeed. Additionally, even those with nominal knowledge will find information to enhance troubleshooting and to understand both legacy systems and the more advanced systems now being installed throughout automated facilities. As before, the text emphasizes the practical aspects of commonly used systems rather than design criteria. It contains a complete description of the relevant terminology, standards, and protocols including EIA/TIA-232/485, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.11, and IEEE 802.15. New material in this edition includes information on updated Ethernet and router technologies; a more detailed description of VPNs; and expanded information on cybersecurity (including ANSI/ISA/IEC 62443). A complete glossary and index allows the book to be used as a handy reference. SCADA, DCS, and fieldbus systems are all explained, as well as operating system considerations from a communications perspective. This is a book for newcomers to automation data communications, as well as a reference for those who are currently working in the field.

A hands-on text, not design-oriented or math-based, using equipment and circuitry found in most industrial and commercial facilities. Lab exercises are designed to approximate real-life applications. Covers basic electronics, terminology, measurement error, dc current meters and volt meters, ac fundamentals, impedance measurement principles, and analog/digital conversion principles. Lacks a bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Electrical Measurements and Calibration: Fundamentals and Applications

Science & Math

Technology

For readers with a general technical education and semi-literacy with computers, introduces the principles to the level that they can read the literature and carry on a technical conversation. On the basis that the first and most difficult hindrance to learning the subject is the jargon, uses a conversational style to introduce the concepts first then tag them with the appropriate and necessary jargon. Enlarged and revised to incorporate not only the new technology, but also the increased familiarity with it over the past six years. Includes a glossary, mostly of acronyms. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Industrial Data Communications: Fundamentals and Applications (Bmc Series)

The new edition of a text introducing the principles of data communication such that the reader can move on to more specialized literature and technical conversations. Chapters cover serial communications standards, local area networks, network software, industrial networks and fieldbuses, wide area networks, and internetworking. The author assumes some general technical education and a basic computer literacy. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Industrial Data Communications (Resources for Measurement and Control Series)

Following the boom in networking and data communications advancements throughout industry, this fourth edition of an ISA best-seller gives technical professionals who have little or no background in data communications the knowledge they need to understand, troubleshoot, and maintain both legacy and leading-edge systems. The text emphasizes practical functional aspects of common systems rather than design criteria. It includes a complete description of relevant terminology, standards, and protocols including EIA/TIA 232, 485, and IEEE 802. New material in this edition includes updated information on 100 MBps and 1000 MBps Ethernet, RIP and OSPF router technologies, OLE for Process Control (OPC), ActiveX, and .NETÂ‚Â™, virtual private networks, and more. A complete glossary and index make the book especially useful as a handy desk reference. The growth and application of data communications in the industrial environment as well as emerging technologies are discussed. Contents: Historical Overview, Communication Foundations, Physical Layer and Data Link Standards, Local Area Networks, Network Operating Systems and LAN Management, Industrial Networks and Applications, Wide Area Networks.
