Preface
The acceptance of my previous titles “Process Instrumentation-1”, “Process Instrumentation-2”, “Industrial automation”, “Process
instrumentation systems” and last year’s Process Automation book has affirmed the need for a basic text on the same subject but quite on the
different contents for PLC and Automation.
In the years since the syllabus changed in the year 2012, a number of instructors and students have requested that the material be
created for Electronics Field. This edition is designed to meet that need. Topics in the chapter have also been expanded to enable the student
to study in the great detail.
Some students insisted too much for the material of PLC and Automation, so earlier I was recommending them my earlier titles. But those
contents were too much in details and the need for Electronics and Telecommunication Field students is just introducery text. By this year, I
decided to create contents specific for those students. This way the book was itself wanted to come out.
Since I passed out as Instrumentation Engineering in 2000, the material availability was very scarce and now in the year 2014, still I
haven’t found any book that will cover proper material for controllers, PLC and control valve. It is just indigestible that still there is no proper
book for Control system components required in Instrumentation field. This information inspires me to fill the gaps of those contents and
make the book milestone.
Earlier Instrumentation related titles were also mandated by the need to convey information about new equipment in the field of process
control instrumentation. The material here attempts, in a basic way, to meet the needs of the instrumentation engineer or technician who
must learn how equipment operates. Mathematics has been kept wherever necessary.
Process control technology has demonstrated great advances through the years. The two that stand out most recently are the
development of smart sensors, where the controller is embedded directly into the sensor assembly, and the use of local area networks to
support distributed plant control systems. These and other innovations have greatly changed how we implement control, but the
fundamentals such as the strategy for control, the methods of control feedback, and to a large extent, the sensors for measurement remain the
same. This book presents the timeless, fundamental principles of how control systems work, using a rigorous mathematics.
Digital devices are having increasing impact on the process control field. While it is beyond the scope of this text to deal with these tech-
niques in detail, digital devices are introduced, as are some of the associated terms.
While focusing on the fundamentals, this content has been periodically updated and upgraded to reflect current advances in the
technology associated with process control. Thus, this edition includes new innovations in process control. The treatment of controllers has
also been expanded to reflect how this technology has increased its application base in modern industry. In addition, numerous descriptions
have been clarified, figures have been improved, and some new examples have been added. I wish to express my great appreciation to the
users who reviewed the previous contents and numerous excellent suggestions for improvements. Not all suggested changes could be
included, but many were and all were meritorious.
The book is specially written for final year students of Electronics Engineering. However, it should prove suitable for other branches of
engineering which include Process control and Automation one of their subjects.
This starts with a general review of control systems and its basics in chapter 1, which also includes instrumentation process
characteristics, types of automation etc, with various types of process controls systems. Chapter 2 cover signal processing and conditioning in
great detail. Transmitters and signal conditioning for RTD, thermocouple and DPT,. Also the smart and intelligent transmitters are introduced.
Chapter 3 includes instrument standard signals, PID controller principles, their types, modes and/or actions. This chapter contains numerical
and rigorous calculations about PID controllers. It also covers switches and actuator discussion. Chapter 4 describes PLC with greatest details
possible. PLC covered with its all associated interfaces and modern day technology. Chapter 5 gives SCADA details and DCS in later part which
covered in detail. Finally, Chapter 6 covers introduction to CNC machines and its relevant detailed discussion and then various industrial
buses and protocols are covered. It also covers Control panel engineering to the great detail.
This book does not promote the use of any specific software packages to supplement course coverage. However, in our classes, teachers
strongly urge to use Mathcad, MAT-LAB, PSpice, and Electronics Workbench, Ladder diagram programming and simulation software as
powerful tools to enhance the learning. In associated laboratories, LabVIEW provides a computer-based data acquisition and analysis tool.
INTENDED READERSHIP
The book is specially written for the students of B.E. Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering of University course. It is also seen as
being of value to students of MSc, BSc, Electronics and telecommunications, information technology, computer engineering, Electronic Science
and Instrumentation Science. It can also be used by senior students and practicing engineers in the broad field of Control Systems and
instrumentation technology.

I am indebted to the many people who assisted with the preparation of this book in previous year. The contents are actually been revised long
ago by many professors and students time to time.
Even effort has been made to give credit where it is due for the material contained herein. If inadvertently I have omitted giving credit,
future publications will give due credit to those that are brought to my attention.
I am vastly indebted to many people who have helped and inspired me, in various ways, to start, continue, and complete this book. I

cannot find words to describe the debt I owe to all of my colleagues at various colleges in Pune and Mumbai University for having created a
stimulating atmosphere of academic excellence, the basic element of any long-lasting endeavor.
I am also thankful to those people who refused for the help in preparing this book because I myself had to learn, search and survey the
topics on my own. In this way, I am becoming more proficient in authoring the books. It gave me strength to become better experienced in
writing book and deciding the contents as per the syllabus.
A special thanks to Amol Shet for eleventh hour help in providing the solutions for some complicated numericals in the book. Thus,
making the book fully covered with updated solutions.
My wife Bhaktti and staff of my company typed the original manuscript with great care, artistic taste, skill, and dedication, unparalleled in
my own experience.
With my ongoing publishing activity after publishing of “Optical Fiber Communication” “Electronic Product Design”, “Process
Automation”, another new and challenging subject of “PLC and Automation” for which I have authored this book. As a publisher, whatever I
am expecting from the author, I have considered all the points while writing this book.
I would like to thank Prof. Gagare (A.C.O.E., Sangamner), for referring me to Prof. Dhananjay Deore (A.C.O.E., Sangamner) for the purpose
of book writing.
Many thanks to all the faculty members & teachers in various colleges in Mumbai & Pune University & those who supported &
encouraged me to publish the various useful & needful books. The books that are bridging the gap of contents & simplification between
reference materials & applied curriculum of engineering course in Mumbai & Pune University which will further conform to all the
curriculums in Indian Universities. This book is the outcome of 15 years of Publishing experience and own technical background. The
suggestions from all side will be very helpful to the future reader and students of this subject because the intention is that to have a standard
book for this subject. Thanks to all the students for encouraging me to publish this book.
Unfortunately, sources were not always noted or available; hence, it became impractical to provide an accurate acknowledgement.
Regardless of the source, I wish to express my gratitude to those who may have contributed to this work, even though anonymously.
