Principles and Practices of Automatic Process Control, 3rd Edition

—The authors have developed several processes (described in Appendix D of the text) to practice the tuning of feed-back controllers, cascade controllers, feedforward controllers, and the pairing and tuning of controllers in a multivari-able control system. These Control Tun-ing Labs have been used by the authors for many years in their university courses, and in training of practicing en-gineers. The Control Tuning Labs were developed using LabVIEWtm, a trade-mark of National Instrumentstm. Visit the Student Companion Site or Instructor Companion Site portion of the book website.

All simulations of examples in the text, as well as simulations using VisSimtm . Visit the Instructor Companion Site por-tion of the book website.

If you do not have LabVIEW, there is a free LabVIEW Playertm available on the website, so that students can view the Control Tuning Labs. Visit the Student Companion Site portion of the book website.
