Preface
Manufacturing deals with the transformation of materials into marketable
products. Industry is primarily responsible for this function in
our society. Depending on the product being manufactured, a number
of unique processes are generally grouped into systems that accomplish
specific manufacturing operations. Systems that respond to temperature,
pressure, flow, level, and analytical procedures are commonly used in an
industrial setting to manufacture a product.
For many years, manufacturing was largely accomplished by manual
control operations. These techniques have given way to automated
manufacturing operations that control a system with very little human
intervention. The computer now serves as a tool to assist in this operation.
Computer integrated manufacturing is a buzzword that describes this operation.
The computers of a manufacturing facility are often tied together
in a large network. These networks are used to schedule and oversee material
ordering and routing, parts production, assembly, quality evaluation,
testing, and shipment to the customer. The entire operation depends
on the control of manufacturing processes. Technically trained personnel
must be aware of these operations. Industrial Process Control Systems (2nd
Edition) was developed for these people.
In this presentation, the systems concept will serve as the basis of
our approach to industrial process control. An operating system is first
discussed. The system is then divided into a number of essential blocks
or parts. The function or role of each block is then discussed. Functional
blocks are then divided into discrete components and studied in more detail.
Through this approach, one should be able to see how the pieces of a
process system fit together.
The explanations used in this approach are essentially nonmathematical
and apply to typical industrial equipment that is designed to
achieve specific manufacturing operations. When math is used, it is presented
only to show a practical relationship in the explanation of a process
or a control procedure.
The organization of each chapter includes objectives, key terms, an
introduction, the text, system applications, and a summary. For schools
that use this material, the text lends itself well to discussions, written assignments,
and associated laboratory activities. For independent study
and industrial training programs, this same approach provides a very
productive learning procedure.
The 2nd edition of this book has been expanded to include the topic
of automated processes and robotic systems (Chapter 9). Illustrations
have been reviewed and revised and content carefully checked. The authors
hope you will find this book informative and easy to understand.
We want to thank Brian W. Fardo, who teaches at Berea College, for
his assistance in the revision of this book. He has an extensive background
in technology systems.
