This edition of process Control Instrumentation Technology is the result of a very intense and hectic several months spent incorporating some of the major changes in the way control systems and process control are implemented. Many changes have been dictated by control systems and proocess control are implemented. Many changes have been dictated by observations of the changing technogy of control systems. Following is a brief summary of some of the most important revisions.   

This book is intended for a reader who has at least a working knowledge of algebra and trigonometry, but familiarity with calculus would also enhance understanding. In addition, a solid understanding of basic electricity along with some working knowledge of analog and digital electronics is essential to good comprehension of the topics.
