PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Brings order into the chaos of the claims of competing networks and buses Proposes international standardization for all digital systems Presents fully open and completely interoperable networks Covers not only the American, but the global market for digital networks Provides quick access to specific information via an excellent index Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Third Edition: Volume Three: Process Software and Digital Networks provides an in-depth, state-of-the-art review of existing and evolving digital communications and control systems. While the book highlights the transportation of digital information by buses and networks, the total coverage doesn't stop there. It describes a variety of process-control software packages suited for plant optimization, maintenance, and safety related applications. In addition, topics include plant design and modernization, safety and operations related logic systems, and the design of integrated workstations and control centers. The book concludes with an appendix providing practical information such as bidders lists and addresses, steam tables, materials selection for corrosive services, and much more. If you buy the three-volume set of the Instrument Engineers Handbook, you will have everything a process control engineer or instrumentation technician needs. If you buy this volume, you will have at your fingertips all the software and digital network related information that is needed by I&C engineers. It will be the resource you reach for over and over again.

ABOUT AUTHOR
"The editor of this masterpiece, Béla Lipták, is a longtime engineering consultant, a teacher at Yale, and a fellow of the ISA. He is clearly devoted to producing a useful reference … . The book is replete with simple explicatory figures and diagrams; well-organized summaries with information on the costs, suppliers, ranges, and inaccuracies of the instruments covered; and practical tips on related subjects such as good instrument maintenance practices. … Comprehensive, practical, and well-organized, this book is highly recommended for academic libraries and engineering company libraries. It can best serve as a teaching aid for students, or a reference manual for both new and experienced practicing engineers." -E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 6, 2004 About the previous editions: "Those [contributors] eventually selected are without doubt among the best … Whether used as a textbook by inexperienced engineers, or as a quick reference book for the experienced engineer, this book looks set to continue to be the main reference to the instrument engineer for the next decade…" -Alan Reese, Control & Instrumentation "I have seen nothing with the scope of this handbook…" -Roy V. Hughson, Chemical Engineering "In our smaller universe of process control, Béla Lipták is a towering presence…" -Terrence K. McMahon, Control
