Programmable Logic Controllers: An Emphasis on Design and Application Kelvin T. Erickson This book presents a comprehensive treatment of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with an emphasis on program design. The text stresses an organized approach to developing PLC programs — “Given a set of operational specifications, how does one develop the PLC program?” This book develops the design process: the tasks involved, breaking the program into manageable pieces, standard code for the various parts, and handling the sequential parts of the problem. The book also contains example problems demonstrating good design practice and culminates in two full-length case studies.

Safety Instrumented Systems Verification —
Practical Probabilistic Calculations

William M. Goble and Harry L. Cheddie

This book clearly explains how to do probabilistic calculations to accomplish safety integrity level (SIL) verification for safety systems. Starting with a description of the safety lifecycle, the authors show where and how SIL verification fits into the key activities from conceptual design through commissioning.

Selection Guide for Temperature Instrumentation Evaluation International This Selection Guide for Temperature Instrumentation identifies the main categories of temperature measuring instruments widely available in industry, considers the general parameters associated with each instrument type as well as the known pros and cons of each, and discusses general selection criteria. An example instrument specification is also included. If you need to know how to select and use instruments for measuring temperature, this guide introduces the main concepts of temperature measurement, together with terms and definitions. An example instrument specification will be given, and a limited selection of market-leading U.K. manufacturers will be listed.
