The key to the successful development of distributed measurement
and control systems is the communications link. Emphasising the
importance of communications standards, this topical text describes
and discusses serial data highways developed for measurement and
control applications. Such standards demand conformity to a
protocol which ensures reliable transmissions between digital field
devices, using a common communications interface. This
comprehensive overview of the large family of data highways
currently in use addresses all aspects of the practical
implementation of industrial control systems. Features include:
- Up-to-date overview of serial networking technology for
measurement and control applications.
- Review of the fundamental concepts and relative merits of
twelve serial network communication standards.
- A valuable insight into a wide range of market sectors where
proprietary, national and international standards now apply.
- Discussion of each established or evolving serial data highway
in the context of its application.
This text is an invaluable reference source for engineers and
product designers in measurement and control seeking to increase
their awareness of developments in the complete range of market
sectors. For anyone contemplating the development of a
communications standard, this will prove an indispensable frame of
reference. In addition to providing detailed information about the
serial bus, this unique book will furnish advanced students of
electronic and electrical engineering with a broader view of their
subject and encourage a more product-oriented approach. Serial
Networked Field Instrumentation forms part of the Wiley Series in
MeasurementScience and Technology. Chief Editor: Peter Sydenham
Australian Centre for Test and Evaluation, University of South
Australia. This series was founded to coincide with the recognition
of measurement science and instrument technology as fields with
their own scholarship and techniques.
