Features: This book primarily introduces practical engineering knowledge in three areas: process control systems, computer networks, and distributed control systems. The book is divided into 8 chapters, covering the following content: basic concepts of process control systems, characteristics of controlled objects, characteristics of control devices, typical control systems, an overview of computer control systems, fundamental knowledge of computer networks, distributed control systems, and introductions to two examples of distributed control systems. Its main feature is the organic integration of process control systems, computer networks, and distributed control systems. From a practical and sufficient-use perspective, it elaborates on the composition, functions, operation, and maintenance of process control systems and their implementation devices—distributed control systems—through the relationship between the performance of process control systems and the characteristics of objects and control devices, as well as the relationship between computer networks and distributed control systems. This book can serve as a technical training manual for process automation instruments and equipment maintenance workers (advanced technicians) and can also be used as a reference for workers and technicians engaged in process automation instruments, system design, and maintenance.
