Features: This book primarily introduces the theory and technology of computer control networks widely used in industrial automation systems. The main content includes:
- The foundation of computer control networks: communication theory, RS-485 communication standard, OSI reference model, fieldbus architecture;
- The extension of computer control networks: network switching technology, routing technology, hierarchical distributed control systems, industrial Ethernet technology;
- The coexistence technologies of computer control networks: network interconnection, the Internet, bus communication protocol converters, and other representative network technologies.
It focuses on analyzing computer control networks that utilize different network media access technologies, including the working principles of CAN fieldbus, CC-Link fieldbus, and ControlNet fieldbus. Additionally, it provides numerous practical examples of computer network control systems applied in industrial production.
The book is concise, summarizing the main content, fundamental concepts, theories, and methods of computer control networks. It inherits certain aspects of existing similar textbooks while also adapting to the new developments in control theory and technology and the requirements of professional training.
This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students in automation and related fields, as well as a reference for researchers and engineering technicians in related fields.
