Industrial Control Technology gives comprehensive coverage of all kinds of industrial control systems to help engineers and researchers correctly and efficiently implement their projects.

Industrial Control Technology is the key to learning and implementing real time and distributed control applications.

It covers working at the device and machine level as well as the wider environments of plant and enterprise.

Includes information on:

• sensors and actuators
• computer hardware
• system interfaces
• digital controllers that perform programs and protocols
• the embedded applications software
• data communications in distributed control systems
• the system routines that make control systems more user-friendly and safe to operate

Industrial Control Technology handbook is a single source reference in an industry with highly disparate information from myriad sources.
