Academic Press Plant Intelligent Automation and Digital Transformation: Volume I: Process and Factory Automation: 1

Plant Intelligent Automation and Digital Transformation: Fundamentals and Functional Control Types is an expansive four volume collection reviewing every major aspect of the intelligent automation and digital transformation of power, process and manufacturing plants, from the specific control and automation systems pertinent to various power process plants through manufacturing and factory automation systems. The first volume, Fundamentals and Functional Details of Control Types: Fundamentals and Functional Control Types introduces the foundations of automation control theory, networking practices and communication for power, process and manufacturing plants considered as integrated digital systems. It discusses Distributed control System (DCS) for Closed loop controls system (CLCS) and PLC based systems for Open loop control systems (OLCS) and factory automation. It provides in-depth guidance on functional and design details pertinent to each of the control types referenced above, as well as installation commissioning of control systems.
