Introduction to Instrumentation, Sensors, and Process Control
Artech House Publishers (Verlag)
978-1-58053-011-8 (ISBN)
Due to the increasing complexity of modern electrical, mechanical, and chemical systems, today's engineers have a growing interest in instrumentation, sensors, and process control. Providing this essential knowledge, this clear, easy-to-comprehend resource covers a wide range of technologies and techniques used in process control, fully explaining important related terminology. Professionals learn how to use microprocessors for both analog and digital process control, as well as signal conditioning. Moreover, engineers find the latest details on cutting-edge microelectromechanical devices and smart sensors. The book presents numerous worked examples using both English and SI (international system) units, which allows for easy conversion between the two systems. Nearly 200 illustrations and more than 150 equations support key topics throughout the book.
William C. Dunn worked in various key management roles for the Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector for over 10 years. Now semi-retired, Mr. Dunn is an adjunct instructor at Ouachita Technical College, teaching digital logic and industrial instrumentation. A well-published author, he holds more than 25 patents and has presented at several major industry conferences.
