Industrial Process Automation Systems: Design and Implementation is a clear guide to the practicalities of modern industrial automation systems. Bridging the gap between theory and technician-level coverage, it offers a pragmatic approach to the subject based on industrial experience, taking in the latest technologies and professional practices. Its comprehensive coverage of concepts and applications provides engineers with the knowledge they need before referring to vendor documentation, while clear guidelines for implementing process control options and worked examples of deployments translate theory into practice with ease. This book is an ideal introduction to the subject for junior level professionals as well as being an essential reference for more experienced practitioners.
- Provides knowledge of the different systems available and their applications, enabling engineers to design automation solutions to solve real industry problems.
- Includes case studies and practical information on key items that need to be considered when procuring automation systems.
- Written by an experienced practitioner from a leading technology company

Industrial automation
Abstract
This chapter outlines the general introduction to the industrial automation, history and inventor’s contribution to this new discipline of engineering. The evolution of the systems from different perspectives such as needs, technology, and application are described. The evolution of the systems from the controllers, communications, connectivity, and networks are outlined. The introduction and evolution of the field communication networks from a historical perspective to the current day situations are described. The model of an automation system as defined in some standard frameworks are described in a layered manner with a description of the systems in each layers and the responsibility of each of these systems in each layers and with other systems in different layers. The reader can gain a bird’s eye view of automation systems used in plant and control environment and general understanding of the different layers, along with the duties of each of these layers, by the end of this chapter.
