		When Worlds Collide in Manufacturing Operations: ISA-95 Best Practices Book 2.0 - $109.00 Book 2.0 explains how to implement ISA-95 workflow applications in Mfg 2.0 to execute operation tasks through the MOM and physical process levels while coordinating them to streamline plant operations and align those operations with ever-changing supply chain processes.

		SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, 4th Edition - $109.00 After completing these 15 self-study units, readers should be conversant with SCADA nomenclature and architecture, understand the basic technology of the system’s building blocks, understand its limitations, understand how it can benefit particular operations, and have a basis for selecting appropriate SCADA technology for their operational requirements.

		Safety Instrumented Systems: Design, Analysis, and Justification, 2nd Edition - $99.00 This revised best-seller addresses the increased realization that today’s engineering systems - and the computers used to control them - are capable of large-scale destruction. This book is a practical how-to text on the analysis, design, application and installation of safety instrumented systems.

		Control Valve Primer: A User's Guide, 4th Edition - $109.00 This easy-to-read text includes insights on valve sizing, smart (digital) valve positioners, field-based architecture, network system technology, and control loop performance evaluation.

		Control Loop Foundation - Batch and Continuous Processes - $109.00 This book is 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.

		Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application - $99.00 The second edition of this best-seller covers the topics of tuning feedback control loops, multiplicative feed-forward control, and other control techniques such as split-range control, cross-limiting control, floating control, techniques for increasing effective valve rangeability, and time proportioning control, and more.

		Automation Made Easy: Everything You Wanted to Know about Automation - $79.00 Whether you are a student just starting out or are a top-level executive or manager well-versed in one domain, but have limited knowledge of the industrial automation industry, it’s easy to find yourself adrift in this evolving industry. That is where this easy-to-read book comes in; it provides a basic functional understanding in the field of industrial automation.

		Automation Applications in Bio-Pharmaceuticals - $99.00 This book is a guide for engineers and designers new to the field of bio-pharmaceutical process control. For the experienced automation professional, this book outlines the unique design and application issues for the bio-pharmaceutical industry. For those already familiar with this industry, the book provides specific advice for automating these processes.

		Alarm Management: A Comprehensive Guide, 2nd Edition - $89.00 In this second edition, various problems of alarm systems are covered with precise guidance on how they come about and how to effectively correct them. It is written by individuals with vast experience in the different plants, processes, and environments requiring effective alarm management.

		Advanced Temperature Measurement and Control, 2nd Edition - $69.00 This book provides a comprehensive view of what is needed to take advantage of the latest developments in smart and wireless temperature measurements and control strategies. A fundamental understanding of the capabilities of temperature sensors and the advances in wireless technology are provided.

		Advanced PID Control - $119.00 The authors of the best-selling book PID Controllers: Theory, Design, and Tuning once again combine their extensive knowledge in the PID arena to bring you an in-depth look at the world of PID control. Advanced PID Control builds on the basics learned in PID Controllers but augments it through the use of advanced control techniques.

		Measurement and Control Basics, 4th Edition Ideal for classroom use or self-study, this newly revised best-selling book has provided thousands of students, technicians, sales people, and others with a practical introduction to the technologies, systems, and strategies involved in industrial process control.

		Practical Process Control This book introduces process control to engineers and technicians unfamiliar with control techniques, providing an understanding of how to actually apply control in a real industrial environment. It avoids analytical treatment of the numerous statistical process control techniques to concentrate on the practical problems involved. A practical approach is taken, making it relevant in virtually all manufacturing and process industries.

		Industrial Control Systems: Advances and Applications This is a comprehensive, practical, easy-to-read book on process control, covering some of the most important topics in the petrochemical process industry, including Fieldbus, Multiphase Flow Metering, and other recently developed control systems.
