Written in clear language for readers new to the subject, this book compares different network types (such as sensor networks, fieldbuses, Ethernet and wireless), addresses safety and power concerns and highlights real-world applications, from conveyor lines and packaging machines to process control and elevator systems, helping engineers select the best network for a project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDick Caro\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am now CEO of CMC Associates in Arlington, MA, which is to say that I am an independent consultant, and I can give myself any title I want. I have been actively involved in industrial automation work since 1958 when I started doing instrumentation for a small chemical plant of Ethyl Corporation in Baton Rouge, LA. It wasn't too long after I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in chemical engineering, that I began working on my MS at LSU in Baton Rouge. Paul Murrill and Cecil Smith were in my graduate school automatic control class, the first ever taught at LSU. In 1964, I received my 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\u003e03 February 2009\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\u003e9781941546802\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\u003e216\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46182651789452,"sku":"9781941546802","price":89.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781941546802.jpg?v=1780157695","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781941546802","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
