Publisher's Synopsis
Plant Intelligent Automation and Digital Transformation is an expansive four volume collection reviewing every major aspect of the intelligent automation and digital transformation of power, process and manufacturing plants, from the specific control and automation systems pertinent to various power process plants through manufacturing and factory automation systems.
The second volume, Control and Monitoring Hardware and Software reviews the key role of management Information systems (MIS), HMI, and alarm systems in plant automation in systemic digitalization. The work covers hardware and software implementations for embedded microcontrollers, FPGA and operator and engineering stations. Chapters address plant life cycle considerations, inclusive of plant hazards and risk analysis. It also discusses industry 4.0 factory automation as a component of digitalization strategies as well as digital transformation of power plants, process plants and manufacturing industries.
