{"product_id":"9781606503966","title":"Catching the Process Fieldbus: An Introduction to PROFIBUS for Process Automation","description":"\u003cbr\u003eThe storing, handling, and processing of bulk solid materials is fundamental to nearly every manufacturing and processing industry, from the food industry and agribusiness, to the plastics industry, to the mining and cement industries, to coal-fired electric utilities. Automating the handling and processing of solids is rapidly growing, but little has been published on the use of radar, especially for applications with highly dusty solids encountered in silos and other bulk storage facilities. This concise introduction to the use of radar for measuring solid materials in solution or in dispersion provides useful applications for industrial processing and manufacturing. It is a boon to industrial engineers, controls engineers, and manufacturing technicians who want to quickly learn about the great potential for automating processes heretofore considered too difficult by using radar-based sensing for solids measurement. The reader will benefit from: \u003cbr\u003e• Background on the history and development of radar for scanning of diffuse solids and particles. \u003cbr\u003e• Coverage of connections and set-up, including HART and PROFIBUS. \u003cbr\u003e• Guidance on process Intelligence and Troubleshooting--including early echo detection and digital echo processing. \u003cbr\u003e• Clear examples of applications such as cement making, coal-fired utilities, chemical and plastics industries, and metals processing.","brand":"Momentum Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031412556016,"sku":"9781606503966","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781606503966_p0.jpg?v=1763831091","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606503966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
