In this in-depth book, the authors address the concepts and
terminology that are needed to work in the field of process
control. The material is presented in a straightforward manner that
is independent of the control system manufacturer. It is assumed
that the reader may not have worked in a process plant environment
and may be unfamiliar with the field devices and control systems.
Much of the material on the practical aspects of control design and
process applications is based on the authors personal experience
gained in working with process control systems. Thus, the book is
written to act as a guide for engineers, managers, technicians, and
others that are new to process control or experienced control
engineers who are unfamiliar with multi-loop control techniques.
After the traditional single-loop and multi-loop techniques that
are most often used in industry are covered, a brief introduction
to advanced control techniques is provided. Whether the reader of
this book is working as a process control engineer, working in a
control group or working in an instrument department, the
information will set the solid foundation needed to understand and
work with existing control systems or to design new control
applications.
At various points in the chapters on process characterization
and control design, the reader has an opportunity to apply what was
learned using web-based workshops. The only items required to
access these workshops are a high-speed Internet connection and a
web browser. Dynamic process simulations are built into the
workshops to give the reader a realistic "hands-on" experience.
Also, one chapter of the book is dedicated to techniques that may
be used to create process simulations using tools that are commonly
available within most distributed control systems.

As control techniques are introduced, simple process examples
are used to illustrate how these techniques are applied in
industry. The last chapter of the book, on process applications,
contains several more complex examples from industry that
illustrate how basic control techniques may be combined to meet a
variety of application requirements.
