Features: This book is written by the author based on years of teaching experience and practical experience in developing, using, and integrating distributed control systems and fieldbus technologies. It introduces fundamental knowledge such as the structure and composition of distributed control systems, communication technologies, configuration technologies, and control technologies. It also provides a detailed introduction to the hardware configuration, software configuration, data acquisition and control, operation techniques, and reliability technologies of the typical representative of distributed control systems—the TDC3000 system by Honeywell Company of the United States. Additionally, it introduces the domestic distributed control system product HS2000. On this basis, it integrates knowledge on the design, selection, evaluation, and application of distributed control systems. Finally, it introduces the concept, characteristics, structure, and classification of fieldbus technologies, using the fieldbus configuration software of Smar Company and NI Company as examples to focus on the configuration process of fieldbus. This book emphasizes the combination of theoretical knowledge and engineering practice, thoroughly explains basic principles and methods, and is well-organized with clear layers. Each chapter includes summaries and exercises, making the book more teaching-friendly and self-study-friendly. Through studying this book, students can systematically understand the theoretical knowledge of distributed control systems and fieldbus technologies, as well as the characteristics and basic usage methods of mainstream market products. This book is suitable as a textbook for automation and related disciplines in vocational and technical colleges. It can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians working in the fields of distributed control systems and fieldbus technologies. For teaching convenience, this book is accompanied by electronic teaching plans, design task sheets, answers to some exercises, and mock exams.
