"Industrial Instrumentation and Automation" is a comprehensive book that explores the fundamental principles, technologies, and applications of instrumentation and automation systems in the industrial sector. Written by experts in the field, this book serves as an invaluable resource for engineers, technicians, and students interested in understanding and implementing automation solutions in various industries.
The book begins by introducing the basics of industrial instrumentation, including measurement principles, sensors, transducers, and signal conditioning. It covers a wide range of measurement parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow, level, and pH, providing in-depth explanations of the underlying principles and techniques involved in each measurement.
Moving on, the book delves into the world of automation systems and control. It discusses various control strategies, including feedback, feedforward, cascade, and ratio control, and explains how these strategies are applied in different industrial processes. The book also explores the role of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCS), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems in industrial automation.
