In this book, the authors address the concepts and terminology that are needed to apply advanced control techniques in the process industry. The book is written for the process or control engineer that is familiar with traditional control but has little or no experience in designing, installing, commissioning and maintaining advanced control applications. Each chapter of the book is structured to allow a person to quickly understand the technology and how it is applied. Application examples are used to show what is required to address an application. Also, a section of each chapter is dedicated to a more in-depth discussion of the technology for the reader that is interested in understanding the mathematical basis for the technology. A workshop is provided at the end of each chapter that explores the technology. The reader may view the workshop solution by going to the web site that accompanies the book.The book provides comprehensive coverage of the major advanced control techniques that are most commonly used in the process industry. This includes tools for monitoring control system performance, on-demand and adaptive tuning techniques, model predictive control, LP optimization, data analytics for batch and continuous processes, fuzzy logic control, neural networks and advancements in PID to use with wireless measurements. Since many readers may work with an existing DCS that does not support advanced control, a chapter of the book is dedicated to tools and techniques that the authors have found useful in integrating advanced control tools into an existing control system. Also, one chapter of the book addresses how dynamic process simulations may be easily created in a DCS to support checkout and operator training on the use of advanced control.

Wireless Control Foundation: Continuous and Discrete Control for the Process Industry offers an overview of wireless communication concepts and terminology essential for implementing wireless control in the process industry. The control system interfaces and wireless field devices discussed in this book are based on industrial wireless standards and are suitable for monitoring and control applications. Initially, wireless transmitters were used only for process monitoring, not control. However, over the years, wireless measurements have gained high user confidence, and new control techniques have been developed to address the unique characteristics of wireless operation. Due to the widespread acceptance of wireless transmitters, many manufacturers are now developing and introducing wireless final control elements, such as on/off and throttling valves. This book details technical innovations that utilize wireless measurements and final control elements for control purposes. It explains how control can be structured to manage the slow, non-periodic measurement update rates from wireless transmitters and how to compensate for communication delays to the final control elements. These innovative control techniques enable the use of wireless measurements and valves in closed-loop control systems, allowing for seamless integration. It also discusses how wireless measurements can be integrated with model predictive control (MPC). Multiple application examples illustrate the requirements for implementing wireless control. Workshops included in this book explore key concepts related to wireless control, with solutions available on the accompanying website. Designed for process or control engineers, this book assumes familiarity with traditional control methods but limited experience in designing, installing, testing or commissioning control systems that use wireless transmitters and valves. It offers comprehensive coverage of wireless control for both continuous and discrete applications within the process industry, and it provides information on commercially available analog and discrete wireless transmitters, as well as on/off valves. Some readers may work with existing distributed control systems (DCSs) that lack native support for wireless field devices, guidance is given on integrating wireless networks into control systems using supported serial and Ethernet interfaces. It also explains how to create the necessary proportional-integral-derivative (PID) modifications for wireless control using DCS-supported tools, and one chapter describes how to easily develop a dynamic simulation of the process and wireless field devices within a DCS for checkout and operator training on wireless control.

In this in-depth book, the authors address the concepts and terminology that are needed to work in the field of process control. The material is presented in a straightforward manner that is independent of the control system manufacturer. It is assumed that the reader may not have worked in a process plant environment and may be unfamiliar with the field devices and control systems. Much of the material on the practical aspects of control design and process applications is based on the authors personal experience gained in working with process control systems. Thus, the book is written to act as a guide for engineers, managers, technicians, and others that are new to process control or experienced control engineers who are unfamiliar with multi-loop control techniques. After the traditional single-loop and multi-loop techniques that are most often used in industry are covered, a brief introduction to advanced control techniques is provided. Whether the reader of this book is working as a process control engineer, working in a control group or working in an instrument department, the information will set the solid foundation needed to understand and work with existing control systems or to design new control applications. At various points in the chapters on process characterization and control design, the reader has an opportunity to apply what was learned using web-based workshops. The only items required to access these workshops are a high-speed Internet connection and a web browser. Dynamic process simulations are built into the workshops to give the reader a realistic hands-on experience. Also, one chapter of the book is dedicated to techniques that may be used to create process simulations using tools that are commonly available within most distributed control systems. As control techniques are introduced, simple process examples are used to illustrate how these techniques are applied in industry. The last chapter of the book, on process applications, contains several more complex examples from industry that illustrate how basic control techniques may be combined to meet a variety of application requirements.
