It covers core concepts, including what a process is, how feedback control loops work and why measurements, valves and controllers matter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book also provides practical tools, including proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tuning, cascade and ratio control and statistical methods for measuring and reducing variability. Later chapters introduce modeling and simulation, along with more advanced topics such as adaptive and fuzzy logic control, all grounded in clear examples and step-by-step explanations. Designed for learners and practitioners, this book strikes a balance between real-world applications and the key math and science necessary to understand and design control systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick F. Bouwman\u003c\/b\u003e is a semiretired electrical engineer with over 40 years of industrial experience, including 18 years in the design and development of military electronics, instrumentation, and biomedical equipment. For more than 15 years, Bouwman operated his own company specializing in research, design, and development of data acquisition and signal processing systems for medical research applications and the instrumentation and process industry. He has provided design and consulting services to the process and automation industry and participated in research conducted at McGill University by custom designing data acquisition equipment and instrumentation for medical research applications.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, Bouwman taught industrial electronics at the collegiate level for over 20 years and was department chair for 16 years, a role in which he was actively involved in all facets of curriculum development, laboratory design, industrial training, and continuing education. He has written numerous instructional and lab manuals on topics including analog and digital electronics, signal processing, discrete automation, instrumentation, process control, PLC programming, ISA-5.1 technical documentation, robotics, computer automation, distributed automation, and medical and military electronics.\u003cbr\u003eHe has also provided technical training and instructional material to the Canadian Armed Forces; conducted seminars in data acquisition, signal processing, instrumentation, and control for the manufacturing industry; and prepared and conducted seminars\/workgroups in instrumentation, process control, and ISA-5.1 for the International Society of Automation (ISA) Montreal Section. Bouwman is a senior member of ISA, and he served on the Montreal Section board of directors.\u003cbr\u003eHe received a B.Sc. in electrical and electronic engineering from Concordia University in Montreal in 1976, and he currently lives in Montreal, Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 June 2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781643311395\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e528\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46182892208268,"sku":"9781643311395","price":116.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781643311395_f0a6e025-350f-4dac-83d5-db31d5c1ae8f.jpg?v=1780236931","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781643311395","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
