Collaborative Process Automation Systems
Providing a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in Collaborative Process Automation Systems (CPAS), this book discusses topics such as engineering, security, enterprise connectivity, advanced process control, plant asset management, and operator efficiency. Collaborating with other industry experts, the author covers the system architecture and infrastructure required for a CPAS, as well as important standards like OPC and the ISA-95 series of standards. This in-depth reference focuses on the differences between a CPAS and traditional automation systems. Implications on modern automation systems are outlined in theory and practice. This book is ideal for industrial engineers, as well as graduate students in control and automation.
Collaborative Process Automation Systems
This book gives a comprehensive overview over the state-of-the-art in Collaborative Process Automation Systems (CPAS) including engineering, security, open standards, enterprise connectivity and plant asset management. The ABB System 800xA exemplifies this new type of systems. The authors explain the system architecture and infrastructure required for a CPAS, as well as important open standards like OPC, ISA-95 and XML. They focus on the differences between CPAS and traditional automation systems, namely common architecture, information handling, data storage, standards for integration and collaboration, esp. ISA-95. Implications on modern automation systems are outlined in theory and practice. The authors address industrial engineers as well as graduate students in control and automation.
Interoperability Principles and Standards: Applications to Collaborative and Automated Systems
Interoperability is the ability for two or more systems to interoperate, i.e., to share and use common information and/or to use functionality of one another. The purpose of the book is to explain what one should know to be able to understand or implement systems interoperability at the technical, semantic and organization levels of an enterprise system or of a collaborative automated system. In particular, it presents the rationale, the basics, the common methods and the essential standards for the engineering of interoperable systems. The book is intended to serve as a textbook for those who need (1) to study basic principles, concepts and techniques along with applications of systems interoperability and (2) need to know applicable standards for planning, engineering or implementing interoperability solutions. Applications will concern, but are not limited to, automated (collaborative) environments. The book should also serve as a reference document for students and academia at under-graduate and graduate levels or in engineering schools as well as for researchers, practitioners, consultants and engineers faced with interoperability problems in service, industrial, government or administrative sectors.
