This practical-level textbook from ISA teaches the practice of process control for
the process industries. It stresses the study of real, imperfect
processes, rather than system theory, and gives guidance on how you can best
apply your experience, intuition, and knowledge of the particular processes.
The book summarizes the general characteristics of processes and control
loops and discusses feedback control and its nuances. Later sections
address advanced control techniques. The laboratory exercises in PC-ControLAB
3 coordinate closely with chapters in the book. (See Laboratory
Exercises for a listing of both the chapters in the book and the laboratory
exercises.) Use of the two together will enhance your comprehension
and retention of the material.
