ISA announces third edition release of Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA (29 March 2017)– The International Society of Automation (ISA) today announces the third edition release of Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application by Harold L. Wade, Ph.D., PE.
Dr. Wade—who has more than 50 years of experience designing, applying and installing process control systems—says the updated edition builds upon the real-world experiences and process knowledge of engineers and technicians to demonstrate the application of successful regulatory control strategies and techniques.
“In contrast with many academic textbooks on process control, this book presents the concepts of process automation and control with a minimal amount of mathematical systems theory and a large amount of practical application knowledge,” he emphasizes. “The book can be used by both instrumentation technicians and process control engineers, but is primarily aimed at those whose responsibility is to design the control system for a new process or to suggest modifications to an existing control system.”
The book integrates many valuable new areas of content, including: expanded coverage of set-point weighting controllers, an amplified discussion of valve problems, expanded coverage of cross-limiting control systems, a new heuristic procedure for improving "as-found" tuning, and an expanded discussion of tuning liquid level control loops. End-of-chapter exercises also have been added.
