Features: Based on the new developments and engineering applications of instrumentation and process control systems, this book provides an in-depth analysis of commonly used detection instruments (temperature, pressure, flow, liquid level, composition) in process control, control instruments/programmable controllers, actuators, and intrinsically safe explosion-proof technology. It then discusses process dynamic characteristics and modeling, single-loop control system design and parameter tuning, and the analysis and design of complex control systems (cascade, feedforward, ratio, split-range, selective, large delay compensation, decoupling control). It briefly introduces advanced control technologies (adaptive control, predictive control, fuzzy control, reasoning control, expert control, human-like control) and their analysis and design. The book also provides a systematic discussion of DDC systems and DCS systems, as well as a brief overview of the current status and development trends of fieldbus technology and control networks. Finally, it conducts an in-depth analysis of two typical process control system examples. The book consists of 10 chapters, each accompanied by review questions and exercises. It can serve as a textbook or reference for automation majors and related fields such as petrochemical, power, and light industry, and is also suitable for industrial control engineering technicians.
