13、l Equipment Structure. This appendix goes into some historical detail since an understanding of that history is useful to an understanding of how automation systems are structured today. Prior to the 1970s when programmable control hardware for discrete applications began to see wide-spread use, dis

14、crete control was much more difficult and was thus limited in functionality. However, available analog controllers were very capable for continuous control; so most of the more complex control application work and most of the automation professionals worked on process applications.Today, virtually a

15、ll new control is performed in programmable devices which do a very good job for both discrete and continuous applications. However, the tremendous opportunities in manufacturing (discrete and motion) applications have caused this area to overtake the continuous applications and a major fraction of

16、automation professionals today work outside the process industries.Though a variety of control devices today can do a variety of discrete, motion, and process applica-tions, many of the devices are best suited to specific areas. The design of these devices is influenced by the historical expectation

17、s of that manufacturing area as well as by the true requirements of the auto-mation task.April, 2006Preface to the First EditionThis book is intended to be read and studied both by automation professionals and by those who want to learn about automationnot just used for looking up facts and figures.

18、 However, it contains so much technical information you may also find it useful as a reference. xvi PrefaceBecause each topic was written by a highly respected expert, or experts, in that subject area, there is much more detailed information than you would expect in a typical overview. Even so, each

19、 topic is short enough to be read like a summary.This book emerged from the work to develop ISAs Certified Automation Professional (CAP) program. However, its value is much broader than just as a helpful text for CAP. The topics in this book represent THE scope of automation application, which makes

20、 it one of the most important books published by ISA. This is a unique book that will go a long way toward defining the scope of automation and helping to establish automation “engineering” as a profession.The term “automation” includes all topics that have traditionally been identified using names

21、such as instrumentation, instruments and control, process control, process automation, control systems, automation and control, manufacturing control, manufacturing automation, and system integration. Automation professionals are the practitioners responsible for the direction, design, and deploymen

22、t of systems and equipment for manufacturing and control systems. A number of organizations in recent years have developed a document that defines their knowledge base, frequently referred to as the Body of Knowledge. Some of those documents are bibliographies of the relevant literature, some are a

23、critique of the literature, and some are an overview of the topics. This book is obviously the latter type. Because this book contains only a small fraction of all the infor-mation in automation knowledge, it might be titled “Overview,” “Summary,” or “Introduction.” How-ever, following the lead of t

24、he Project Management Institute with their A Guide to Project Management Body of Knowledge, which is now an ANSI standard, many organizations use the Guide to . . . nomencla-ture. We also have chosen to follow that usage.This book is intended to serve as a technical summary of automation knowledge f

25、or those who need a comprehensive perspective on automation in their job, including: Automation professionals who need to understand the basics of an unfamiliar topic. They might, for example, need to determine if it is useful in the application on which they are currently working. Or, they may have

26、 been assigned to use that technology, and they need to begin to learn about it.Anyone who knows something about a topic, but needs to gain a better understanding of the range of information in the topicAcademicians who need guidance in developing and improving curriculum or courses, and who wish to

27、 expand their own knowledge and that of their studentsManagers who need a better perspective of all aspects of automation, enabling them to bet-ter set direction and make staffing decisionsThose who work in fields related to automation, and who need a comprehensive under-standing of what automation

28、is all about. For example, just as automation professionals need to learn much more about information technology (IT), people in IT working on sys-tems related to manufacturing need to learn more about plant floor control and information systems.Students, novices, and others evaluating career decisi

29、ons Those studying for ISAs Certified Automation Professional (CAP) examTo be useful in all these ways, each of the 35 topics in the book needed to be understandable to those who know very little about that topic while, at the same time, useful to those knowledgeable and experienced in that subject.

30、 And, each topic needed to include real technical informationnot just a Preface xviinewsy overview. Achieving all that was a real challenge in the short space that could be devoted to each topic.Some users will find the material fully meets their educational or reference needs on a particular topic;

31、 others, who find they need more depth or more background, will find it useful to study some of the listed references. Those studying for the CAP exam, for example, may find that this material meets their needs in topics where they have some familiarity, but in topics where they know very little, th

32、ey may also need to consult other sources to adequately understand the material. Also, while this book attempts to cover all the topics in the scope of the CAP exam, many CAP exam questions will not be covered in this book, because CAP questions can be drawn from any book or referred paper in automa

33、tion. Still, a good knowledge of the material in this book will be a big step towards preparing for the CAP exam.The organization of the 35 topics in this book is somewhat arbitrary and evolved from more than a year of work trying to capture as many topics as possible in a logical category. The cont

34、inuous num-bering of the topics from 1 to 35 is to indicate the topics themselves are really the most important headings. The seven topic categories are for convenience only.Deciding what not to include was as big a challenge as deciding what should be covered. Older tech-nologies less used today ha

35、ve been skipped, as well as technologies that are very specialized. Tech-niques used less frequentlyeven ones very important in some applications are often not covered simply because of space limitations. Applications used only by a particular industry are also not included. For example, automation

36、professionals working in chemical and refining applications may feel that distillation column control is so basic that it should have been included. However, those out-side those industriesa majority of todays automation professionalsmay hardly know, or care, what a distillation column is.You may fe

37、el your area of automation is slighted, or find that some topics you consider important in the scope of automation are not addressed. We welcome hearing from you about topics that you think should be included in future editions. If there are errors or topics that need further clarification, please l

38、et us know. Send your comments to infoisa.org. The idea for this book first came from Ken Baker, who, as a member of the CAP Steering Team, real-ized the value of putting the entire scope of automation together into one book. Chip Lee, Director of Publications on the ISA staff, was also a strong pro

39、ponent from the beginning and continued to pursue the idea even though some, including me, initially thought a useful coverage of such a broad scope in one reasonably sized book was not practical. Lois Ferson on the ISA publications staff undertook the big task of identifying authors for each topic

40、and convincing them to deliver a comprehensive technical document in fewer words than they proba-bly imagined possible. Jim Strothman did the editing for format and style and to overcome our ten-dency as engineers to use too many unnecessary words. But it is the authors of the 35 topics who are most

41、 responsible for this book. Though many of them initially resisted the tough assignment of cover-ing significant technical detail in such a small space, particularly with a tight time schedule, each did an outstanding job addressing their topic. Many of the authors have written books specifically on

42、 their topic, and a number of the authors are the recognized expert on their topic. About a third of the authors are ISA Fellows.Vernon TrevathanSeptember, 20051Basic Continuous ControlSome might call this category “process control” or “instrumentation and control,” because the material in these top

43、ics is closest to the historical scope of ISA and is consistent with ISAs original name, Instrument Society of America. But today, proportional, integral, derivative (PID) and other continuous control techniques are used in many applications outside the process industries. For example, they are used

44、 in areas such as automotive paint shop controls, motion controls, electrical equipment controls, building automation, ship stabilization controls, and many, many other areas. PID is so pervasive that one could not be considered well educated as an automation professional if he or she does not know

45、the basic concepts of PID and PID tuning. In fact, the CAP Steering Team decided early on that, while many people today work with manufacturing automation information technology that does not involve basic plant floor control, it did not make sense for them to be called automation profes-sionals wit

46、hout knowing the basics of plant floor controlincluding continuous control.Measurements are extremely important in any automation task. It is really true you can control well only those things that you can measureand accuracy and reliability requirements are continuing to increase. Continuous instru

47、mentation is required in many applications throughout automation, although here we call it process instrumentation because the particular type of transmitter packaging discussed is more widely used in process applications. There are so many measurement principles and variations on those principles t

48、hat this topic can only scratch the surface of all the available ones, but it hopefully covers the more popular types. Analytical Instrumentation and Control Valves are more applicable to process applications, although these also are used in environmental and other applications in a variety of indus

49、tries. The type of control system documentation discussed here is also more specific to process industries, but many outside processes can learn from the high degree of development of these documentation conventions. The control equip-ment topic in this category covers what has traditionally been called distributed control systems (DCSs), although that designation no longer has intrinsic meaning. Control valves are critical components of a control loop in process and utility industries. It has often been demonstrated that, in nearly all process plants, control valve problems a
