Product Description
There has been a dynamic development of control over the past 50 years. Many new methods have appeared. The methods have traditionally been presented in highly specialized books written for researchers or engineers with advanced degrees in control theory. These books have been very useful to advance the state of the art but are difficult, however, for an average engineer. It is thus highly desirable to present the industrially proven control methods to ordinary engineers working in industry. Advanced Control Unleashed provides a basis for assessing the benefits of advanced control. The book covers auto-tuning, model predictive control, optimization, estimators, neural networks, fuzzy control, simulators, expert systems, diagnostics, and performance assessment. It is written by four seasoned practitioners of control, having jointly more than 100 years of real industrial experience in the development and use of advanced control. The book is well positioned to provide the bridge over the infamous Gap between Theory and Practice in control. As an added bonus, the book includes a CD that helps bridge theoretical concepts and practical implementations by providing real DeltaV simulations and displays. This interactive CD offers practical design, simulation, and implementation examples that make key examples in the book come alive. Configuration and case files are supplied for a hands-on experience and PowerPoint files suitable for lectures on each unit are also included.

reviews
A practical guide to Advanced Controls 
This is a fantastic book for someone who is interested in implementing an advanced controls project, but may have been intimidated in the past with the complex math, tools, etc … The first two chapters have a about 1000 years of practical experience in the proper use of final control elements (valves, transmitters, drives, etc … ). Highly recommended!

From an Industrial Practitioner of Process Measurement & Control
The advent of powerful and friendly integrated software has moved Advanced process control (APC) from the realm of consultants into the arena of the average process control engineer. The obstacles of infrastructure and special skills requirement have started to disappear and we are poised for an accelerated application of APC. Until recently most of this knowledge ended up with consultants, and the success of the application often deteriorated once they departed. There is now an opportunity to for the engineers closest to the process and daily operations to take a much more active role in the development and support of APC applications. This book serves a bridge for industrial practitioners of Process Control to enter into the world of APC applications. Greater understanding, support and involvement of onsite engineers can increase the success rate and longevity of any APC project and application. The book focuses on practice and applications, backed up by enough theory to insure a deeper understanding. The book demystify APC and makes it more accessible. I am an Industrial Practitioner of Process Control. I have been working for more than 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. This book helped me to get a better understanding of APC in order to identify possible opportunities for its applications on my job.

Practical & Theory of Advanced Control
Excellent resource for those seeking to bridge between traditional control and Advanced Process Control. It is easily read and understood. For each topic there is the recommended practical approach, followed by examples: followed by a concise theory section. The CD is an excellent tool for improving skills and extending the understanding of APC. There are several topics coverd by this book and they are covered very well. Chapters 2 & 3 as well as Appendix D (Top 20 Mistakes Made Today & Every Day for the Last 40 Years) are exceptional value and the price of the book is covered by these chapters alone.
