This book explains wireless standards (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiMAX and UWB), industrial protocols (ISA100.11a and WirelessHART), antenna and topology basics, and the special environmental, security and reliability needs of factory and process automation. It compares competing standards, describes real-world applications (such as factory floors, process plants, sensor networks and RFID\/tagging) and surveys emerging topics, including white-space use, energy harvesting and 3G\/4G implications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for engineers and technical decision-makers, this book explains why industrial installations differ from home or office Wi-Fi and offers practical recommendations for choosing and deploying wireless solutions in demanding industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDick Caro\u003c\/b\u003e is CEO of CMC Associates (Arlington, Massachusetts). He has been actively involved in industrial automation work since 1958, when he started doing instrumentation for a small chemical plant of Ethyl Corp. in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Not too long after graduating from the University of Florida in chemical engineering, he began working on an MS at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. In 1964, he received an MS in chemical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 September 2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780876640180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e128\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46183118274700,"sku":"9780876640180","price":99.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780876640180.jpg?v=1780146443","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780876640180","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
