Long praised for its clear, stylish presentation of the basic principles of process automation, the third edition of Dr. Paul Murrill's classic textbook is now revised and updated for the digital age. 
Step by step, with 16 carefully designed self-study units, Murrill walks you through process control theory from basic concepts to advanced control techniques. Now, not only does it reflect the most recent changes in technology, but it also incorporates material from Application Concepts of Process Control, Murrill's much-praised book on putting theory into practice. 
Here are classic principles that govern process control, particularly feedback control, as well as recent technologies such as statistical process control and expert systems. New chapters focus on the conceptual framework for an application, offering a practical understanding of the theory, along with specific illustrations on how concepts are implemented.

Isa Handbook of Measurement Equations and Tables

Symbols are essential to the documentation and communication of engineering ideas. This book presents the symbols and identifiers used for instrumentation and process control. It contains sample P&amp;IDs and other drawings and examples of how to use symbols in different control schemes. ISA’s symbol standards form the basis of the book. Readers will learn how to use symbols to convey details and operating relationships in the most efficient way. Chapters are organized by document type, following the typical work sequence of control systems engineering and design work. In addition to instrument and loop symbols, the book covers piping, electrical, logic, and process flow symbols and diagrams.

Control System Documentation: Applying Symbols and Identification

Raymond Mulley

A reference for novice instrument engineers faced with the actuality of designing a control loop in a process plant, and realizing that in addition to all the fancy stuff, they need a final control element, something like a cross between a piece of plumbing hardware and a pneumatic logic system. Includes shortened sizing and noise equations that ca

Learn maintenance and troubleshooting from the experts who have maintained both pneumatic and single-loop electrical/electronic devices as well as higher-level, microprocessor-based control systems. Covering the fundamental principles, vocabulary, symbolism, standards, and safety, this book provides the basic knowledge required of I & C technicians. The essential requirements for a maintenance department are well-documented, which include documentation control, office and shop layout, and department organization. Practical applications, including power, grounding, isolation, calibration, and basic troubleshooting techniques, are also covered. This book highlights the benefits of the systems approach, which looks at the whole picture to gain an understanding of the process rather than looking at each component separately. Examples and case studies of configuration, programming, calibration, and tuning of larger DCS systems, as well as single-loop devices and pneumatic devices, are shown, with an emphasis on applications rather than theory. Instrument symbols and uses, specifications, drawings, diagrams and schematics, and control algorithms are explained. Contents: Introduction Fundamental Principles Instrumentation and Control System Maintenance Personnel Maintenance Management Maintenance Engineering Service/Contract Maintenance Configuration and Programming Calibration Tuning Details and Examples Maintenance and Troubleshooting Safety.

Ideal for everyday use by instrumentation personnel, project managers, process engineers, mechanical engineers and sales people, this handbook provides quick access to standard instrument symbols, instrument and control valve selection criteria, conversion guidelines and more. This compact reference contains key information that is often needed on a regular basis. Due to its size and weight, it is very portable, thus making it your first choice to take to meetings or remote locations. It is a mini-version of expensive, larger, detailed books and handbooks such as ISA's Practical Guide Series. At an affordable price, this book is perfect for people who need condensed information or have limited budgets.

The Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control

N.E. Battikha

This book is ideal for instrumentation and control system engineers in the process industries who are responsible for designing, installing, and maintaining safety shutdown systems. Managers, sales professionals, technicians, and engineers employed by end-users, engineering firms, system integrators, and consultants can all benefit from the material presented here. The authors wrote this book because of the increased realization that today's engineering systems-and the computers used to control them-are capable of large-scale destruction. When even a single accident could be disastrous, the luxury of learning from experience no longer exists. The book is a practical how-to text on the analysis, design, application and installation of safety shutdown systems.

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.

Troubleshooting : A Technician's Guide

Mostia, William L.

Programmable Controllers has been used both as a textbook for programmable controller training courses and for self-study by thousands of professionals. This applications-based book provides a clear and concise presentation of the fundamental principles of programmable controllers for process and machine control. The author discusses all phases of programmable controller applications from design and programming to installation, maintenance, and start-up. This new 3rd edition covers each of the five standard PLC programming languages: Ladder Diagrams, Function Block Diagrams, Sequential Function Chart, Statement List and Structured Text. Other enhancements to the 3rd edition include additional programming applications and examples to clearly explain each programming language. 
The text provides a complete and comprehensive presentation on the design, programming, documentation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and start-up of several important control applications. The material also includes chapters on numbering systems and binary codes, digital and ladder logic, electrical and electronic principles, input and output systems, memory and storage devices, programming languages, and data communication systems. The final chapter covers the installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of programmable controller in detail.
