The book focuses on control systems while also covering machine building, mechanical engineering and devices, manufacturing business systems, and job duties in an industrial setting. Detail charts and tables are useful to design aids. This is an essential resource for both freshers and experienced automation professionals.
Topics Covered:
- Automation and manufacturing
- Key ideas in automation, controls, machinery design, and documentation
- Machine systems
- Process systems and automated machinery
- Industrial and factory business systems, including Lean manufacturing
- Machine and system design
Automation, Production Systems, and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing
Automation, Production Systems, and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing is intended for advanced undergraduate/graduate-level Automation, Production Systems, and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing courses. The book should also be valuable for professional engineers and managers who want to learn about modern factory automation and production system technology.
Because of a lack of modern integrated machine technology in construction, the implementation of modern developments in product structures (modularity and design for manufacturing), organisational strategies (just in time, just in sequence, and pulling production), and informational aspects (computer-aided design/manufacturing or computer-integrated manufacturing) is lagging.
Safety Instrumented System Design: Techniques and Design Verification
This book provides a great summary of the design phase of the IEC 61511:2016 SIS safety life cycle. It concentrates on the core concepts, first describing the full safety life cycle process and then demonstrating how the design steps—from conceptual design to design verification—fit into that process.
Topics Covered:
- Describes the benefits of the performance-based design approach. Discusses the concepts of minimum redundancy.
- Concerns about equipment qualification
- Provides the theoretical framework for the probabilistic calculations at the heart of performance verification.
- This chapter discusses recent improvements in SIF verification modeling.
Safety Instrumented Systems: A Life-Cycle Approach
Topics Covered:
- It provides an overview of the ISA84/IEC 61511 standard at a high level.
- It explains how to align ISA/IEC 61511 performance requirements with project execution.
- It provides guidance for making the proper safety system decisions at the right time.
- It informs functional safety engineers about crucial project milestones, allowing them to construct more effective designs.
Automation Network Selection: A Reference Manual, Third Edition
Since this book was first published in 2003, automation networks have evolved. Some predicted network standards have become reality in the last 13 years, wireless networks have spread, and two international standards have emerged: WirelessHART and ISA100 Wireless. Ethernet has dominated the basic network levels as well as various application/user layers, and wireless now carries traffic previously reserved for wired Ethernet networks.
Industrial Automation and Control System Security Principles, Second Edition
This book provides analyzer and control system engineers, as well as other project team members, with the following information:
• Methods for identifying project risks and avoiding them if possible, Methods for dealing with inevitable hazards in a timely and cost-effective manner
• Methods for project engineering and management to ensure the smooth execution of analyzer system projects
• Recommendations are included for:
• Defining hardware and documentation deliverables with a focus on procurement policy compliance
• Collaboration with team members from various disciplines and the supply chain
• Inter-team communication
• Many of the strategies given here are adaptable to unique project requirements and can be applied to any discipline or kind of equipment scoped in large or small, capital or maintenance projects.
