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.
A veteran, Emmy Award-winning TV news anchor provides a unique
insider glimpse into the newsroom revealing how murder cases are
selected for TV coverage. Television news anchor Robert Jordan Jr.
draws from forty-seven years of news experiences to provide an
eye-opening look at how news programs decide which murders to cover
and which ones to ignore. Jordan takes readers behind the scenes
into the big city newsrooms of Chicago. Here split-second decisions
are made on where to send limited resources when dozens of
shootings and several murders are occurring on a daily basis. Using
interviews from decision makers--such as assignment editors and
producers--who work daily in the trenches of working newsrooms, the
reader learns how they decide where to send reporters; when to
dispatch live trucks; and how the stories will be treated as they
are placed in the news programming. Why will one story get
"breaking news" banners and be placed at the top of the broadcast
while others may not make the air at all or may be given casual
mention in later segments? Additionally, Jordan reveals the results
of a ground-breaking questionnaire sent to producers and assignment
editors at Chicago television stations to assess their rationales
for covering murder stories the way they do. Finally, he examines
how the explosion of social media platforms has changed the dynamic
of reporting the news and why murders are the perfect stories for
television, as news organizations struggle to survive.
