Fieldbus and Networking in Process Automation

Sunit Kumar Sen,

About this book

Over the last two decades, fieldbus has totally revolutionized the way communication takes place in the fields of process control, automation, and manufacturing industries. Recent introduction of real-time fieldbuses has opened up its application in multi-axis motor control and other time-critical applications. Fieldbus is designed to ensure easy interoperability, smarter network designs, increased data availability, and lessened stress on the design aspects of safety protocols.

This second edition of Fieldbus and Networking in Process Automation discusses the different facets of fieldbus technology including design, wiring, installation, and commissioning as well as safety aspects in hostile application areas.

The book:

• Explains basic communication principles and networking—a must for understanding fieldbuses

• Considers the advantages and shortcomings of individual fieldbuses

• Provides a broad spectrum of different fieldbuses used in both process control and manufacturing industries in a precise and to-the-point manner

• Introduces Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, SERCOS III, Powerlink, and Profinet IRT, which are mostly sought after in control and automation fields

• Discusses hard real-time communication in a succinct manner—so essential in today's multi-axis motor control systems

• Updates and streamlines the extra details from the original book to make it more concise and reader friendly
