Andrew Parr's Programmable Controllers provides a thoroughly practical introduction to the use of PLCs in industry, covering programming techniques alongside systems-level design issues. In the third edition a masterclass series of real-world case studies have been added to illustrate typical engineering challenges - and model solutions.New material also includes the new IEC-61508 functional safety standard, use of Windows-based software on programming terminals, an expanded section on Scada, and extended coverage of networks and fieldbus.Andrew Parr works at ASW Sheerne

This part of IEC 62271 applies to all overhead, pad mounted, dry vault and submersible single or multi-pole alternating current automatic circuit reclosers and fault interrupters for rated maximum voltages above 1 000 V and up to 38 kV. Devices that require a dependent manual operation are not covered by this standard. In order to simplify this standard where possible, the term recloser/FI (reclosers/FIs) has been substituted for automatic circuit recloser or fault interrupter or both.

The grounding of dc equipment enclosures installed in dc traction power distribution facilities as well as related insulation treatments required for solid and resistance groundingmethods are covered in this standard. Guidelines are also given for material, installation, andtesting of insulation used in dc traction facilities and further recommended criteria for acceptability are provided. System grounding, though related, is not covered in this document.

With numerous new opportunities and challenges emerging from the topic of the cognition and control of complex systems, the methods related to PID control, or control based on a PID framework, will continue to grow and expand. This book covers some of the recent results that include improvements to the PID controller. Some examples of these improvements are as follows: •The novelty method of the variable, fractional-order PID controller •The optimization of PID controller, such as the hybrid LQR-PID controller by using genetic algorithm (GA) with the application for the control of helicopter systems •The optimized tuning approach of PID controller with disturbance rejection •A controller adjustment method based on the internal product of PID terms •The PI-PD controller, incorporated with the model-based feedforward control (FF) and the disturbance compensator (Kz), which is used for the control of magnetic levitation systems •The proper control with PID framework used to improve the cognition or identification for complex systems.

New technologies and standards are emerging which will have a dramatic effect on the design and implementation of future industrial control systems. PLCs and PC-based soft controllers are beginning to use software components, such as object-oriented technology, to bring together the hitherto different worlds of factory automation and business systems. New tools and techniques are needed to design and model these systems, such as UML and modern fieldbus technology. The new IEC 61499 standard has been developed specifically to model distributed control systems, defining concepts and models so that software in the form of function blocks can be interconnected to define the behavior of a distributed control system. Tools based on IEC 61499 are likely to emerge soon to model, validate and simulate the behaviour of complex networks of function blocks and it is expected that this standard will become key to complex distributed systems.
