Features: The book covers a broad range of automation knowledge and is rich in content. To help readers gain a preliminary understanding of automation and instrumentation, the authors follow the cognitive patterns of humans, introducing the book's content in a logical sequence from the whole to detailed parts, and then back to overall applications. This approach ensures that knowledge points are presented progressively and deeply. The book is divided into three main parts: Part 1 introduces the fundamentals of automation systems, providing readers with a holistic understanding of automation systems and clarifying their basic functions and structural principles. Part 2 covers the main instruments and automation devices used in chemical production, including detection instruments, control instruments, and actuators. Part 3 focuses on the specific applications of automation systems in industrial production. The book emphasizes a competency-based and application-oriented approach, targeting practical scenarios and appropriately reducing theoretical complexity to facilitate entry-level learning. The language is clear, concise, and easy to follow. By combining real-world factory applications with common life examples, the book enhances readers' interest in automation, making it easier for beginners to grasp the concepts. This book is suitable for entry-level automation professionals, as well as non-automation professionals in industries such as chemicals, light industry, and thermal power for self-study.
