A field bus is a two-way link between a programmable controller or operations monitor and an industrial device like a sensor, an electric motor, or a switch. It is a critical part of any automated industrial process - whether for factory automation (discrete processes like an assembly line) or process automation (continuous flow of materials being mixed, treated, or processed). PROFIBUS is a widely established program that allows for communication among and between controllers, fieldbuses, and actuator devices. This very concise introduction for industrial engineers, controls engineers, and manufacturing technicians covers the basics of field bus architecture and communication and the fundamentals of the PROFIBUS language protocol.

The storing, handling, and processing of bulk solid materials is fundamental to nearly every manufacturing and processing industry, from the food industry and agribusiness, to the plastics industry, to the mining and cement industries, to coal-fired electric utilities. This concise introduction to the use of radar for measuring solid materials in solution or in dispersion provides useful applications for industrial processing and manufacturing. It is a boon to industrial engineers, controls engineers, and manufacturing technicians who want to quickly learn about the great potential for automating processes heretofore considered too difficult by using radar-based sensing for solids measurement.

Storing, handling, and processing bulk solid and liquid materials is fundamental to nearly every manufacturing and processing industry, from the food industry and agribusiness, to the plastics industry, to the mining and cement industries, to coal-fired electric utilities.

This new book offers a quick and useful guide to the use of ultrasound as a way to measure the levels of these materials in a wide variety of operational environments and situations. You will learn about the history of this technology, its proper set-up and operation, and a selection of useful application examples. The book also offers helpful guidance on ultrasound equipment and vendors.
