Industrial Controls and Manufacturing

Edward W. Kamen, "Industrial Controls and Manufacturing"
Academic Press | 1999-06-15 | ISBN: 0123948509 | 230 pages | PDF | 6.5 MB

Growing numbers of engineering graduates are finding employment in the control systems area with applications to manufacturing. To be properly prepared for such positions, it is desirable that the students be exposed to the topics of process control, discrete logic control and the fundamentals of manufacturing. Presently there is no existing textbook and/or reference that combine together process control, discrete logic control and the fundamentals of manufacturing. This is a book that fills that gap.
This book integrates together the theory with a number of illustrative examples. Constructive procedures will be given for designing controllers and manufacturing lines, including methods for designing digital controllers, fuzzy logic controllers and adaptive controllers, and methods for the design of the flow of operations in a manufacturing line. One chapter will be devoted to equipment interfacing and computer communications, with the focus on fieldbuses, device drivers and computer networks. There are no existing control-oriented textbooks that bring this material into the picture, although interfacing and communications are becoming a bigger and bigger part of the overall control problem.
* Covers both analog and digital control using P/PI/PID controllers and discrete logic control using ladder logic diagrams and programmable logic controllers
* Contains a brief introduction to model predictive control, adaptive control, and neural net control
* Covers control from the device/process level up to and including the production system level
*Contains an introduction to manufacturing systems with the emphasis on performance measures, flow-line analysis, and line balancing
* Contains a chapter on equipment interfacing with a brief introduction on OLE for process control (OPC), the GEM standard, fieldbuses, and Ethernet
* Material is based on a course with a lab project developed and taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology
* Coverage is at the introductory level with a minimal amount of background required to read the text

Process Systems Analysis and Control (3rd Edition)

Donald R. Coughanowr and Steven E. LeBlanc, "Process Systems Analysis and Control (3rd Edition)" 
M g H | 2008 | ISBN: 007339789X | 630 pages | PDF | 5 MB

Process Systems Analysis and Control, third edition retains the clarity of presentation for which this book is well known. It is an ideal teaching and learning tool for a semester-long undergraduate chemical engineering course in process dynamics and control. It avoids the encyclopedic approach of many other texts on this topic. Computer examples using MATLAB® and Simulink® have been introduced throughout the book to supplement and enhance standard hand-solved examples. These packages allow the easy construction of block diagrams and quick analysis of control concepts to enable the student to explore "what-if" type problems that would be much more difficult and time consuming by hand.

Process Modeling, Simulation, and Control for Chemical Engineers

Author : William L. Luyben Year : 2006

In the area of process control, new methods of analysis and synthesis of control systems have been developed and need to be added to the process control engineer’s bag of practical methods. The driving force for much of this development was the drastic increase in energy costs in the 1970s. This led to major redesigns of many new and old processes, using energy integration and more complex processing schemes. The resulting plants are more interconnected. This increases control loop interactions and expands the dimension of control problems. There are many important processes in which three, four, or even more control loops interact.

As a result, there has been a lot of research activity in multivariable control, both in academia and in industry. Some practical, useful tools have been developed to design control systems for these multivariable processes. The second edition includes a fairly comprehensive discussion of what I feel are the useful techniques for controlling multivariable processes.

Another significant change over the last decade has been the dramatic increase in the computational power readily available to engineers. Most calculations can be performed on personal computers that have computational horsepower equal to that provided only by mainframes a few years ago. This means that engineers can now routinely use more rigorous methods of analysis and synthesis. The second edition includes more computer programs. All are suitable for execution on a personal computer.

Process Optimization

Author : Enrique del Castillo Year : 2007

This book is intended as a textbook for a second course in experimental optimization techniques for industrial production processes and other “noisy” systems where the main emphasis is process optimization. This includes courses in “Response Surface Methods” and related topics. The book has outgrown from class notes of a graduate course that I have given for the past 10 years to Industrial Engineering and Operations Research students at Penn State University and at the University of Texas at Arlington. Typically, students come to this course with some background in either Design of Experiments (DOE) or Linear Regression. Many students also come to the course with a background in optimization methods. After teaching this course for several years based on other DOE and Response Surface Methods (RSM) books, it became clear the need for a book more suited to graduate engineering students, who learn about a wide variety of optimization techniques in other courses yet are somewhat disenchanted because there is no apparent connection between those optimization techniques and DOE/RSM.

For a person with a more traditional Statistics or Quality Engineering background, the present book will serve as a reference to techniques that complement and extend basic process optimization techniques from DOE and RSM, including statistical issues that arise in process optimization, Bayesian methods for process optimization, and an introduction to Stochastic Approximation, Kriging methods and “computer experiment” techniques. For a person with an Operations Research background which includes mathematical programming techniques, the present book will not only serve as a guide to DOE and RSM, but will show how important statistical considerations need to be taken into account while optimizing a noisy process.

Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation and Process Control

William Dunn, "Fundamentals of Industrial Instrumentation and Process Control" 
M-Gr-H | 2005 | ISBN: 0071457356 | 322 pages | PDF | 2,6 MB

Instrumentation technicians work on pneumatics, electronic instruments, digital logic devices and computer-based process controls. Because so much of their work involves computerized devices, they need an extensive knowledge of electronics, and most have degrees in electronics technology. Most textbooks in this area are written for four year institutions and lack the practical flavor that is needed in technical schools or community colleges. Designed as a text for use in community colleges or vocational schools, this up to date text is unsurpassed in its treatment of such subjects as: instruments and parameters, electrical components(both analog and digital) various types of actuators and regulators, plumbing and instrumentation diagrams and Operation of process controllers.

Practical PID Control

Antonio Visioli, "Practical PID Control"
Sp....er | 2006-10-31 | ISBN: 1846285852 | 328 pages | PDF | 10,5 MB

Proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers are the most adopted controllers in industrial settings because of the advantageous cost/benefit ratio they are able to provide. Despite their long history and the know-how gained from years of experience, the availability of microprocessors and software tools and the increasing demand for higher product quality at reduced cost have stimulated researchers to devise new methodologies to improve their performance and make them easier to use. Practical PID Control covers important issues that arise when a PID controller is to be applied in practical cases. Its focus is on those functionalities that can provide significant improvements in performance in combination with a sound tuning of parameters. In particular, the choice of filter to make the controller proper, the use of a feedforward action and the selection of an anti-windup strategy are addressed. Further, the choice of the identification algorithm and of the model reduction technique are analysed in the context of model-based PID control. Widely adopted PID-based control architectures (ratio and cascade control) and performance assessment are also covered. For these topics, recent contributions are explained and compared with more standard approaches. A large number of simulation and experimental results are provided in order better to illustrate the different methodologies and to discuss their pros and cons. Practical PID Control is a helpful and instructive reference for researchers, graduate students and practitioners in process control.

Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.
