Design Patterns for Flexible Manufacturing Dennis Brandl This handy resource defines an effective set of design patterns and rules you should know when applying the widely used ISA- 88 industry standards to batch manufacturing (called the S88 design pattern) and continuous and discrete manufacturing (called the NS88 design pattern for non-stop production). The author, who is the chair of the ISA-SP88 committee, developed these patterns and subsequent rules while applying the batch series in several projects. This book clearly identifies what elements are defined in the batch series and what elements make up the S88 and NS88 design patterns for flexible manufacturing. The book defines design patterns for control system programming, providing patterns for the organization of programmable logic controller (PLC), digital control system (DCS), and other control system application code. Whether you are in a batch, continuous, or discrete manufacturing environment, these design patterns can be applied to a wide range of production systems, making systems easier to design and implement.

Fundamentals of Industrial Control, 2nd Edition (with CD-ROM) D.A. Coggan, Editor This updated edition of a best-selling classic provides a unique balance between control system theory and effective application, covering every major control system element, from sensors to final control elements, in the context of overall control strategies and system design. This edition provides updates on a range of topics including Internet communications, industrial communications network hardware and software, open systems, wireless networks, enterprise computing, and computer and control system security. Other sections introduce the new generation of distributed controls and digital automation systems, and present migration strategies for expanding and upgrading existing systems. As a bonus, the book comes with the full text and graphics on a CD-ROM.
