New schedule for automation qualification
The Instrumentation, Systems, and Automation Society has announced its 2005 exam schedule for the Certified Automation Professional (CAP) programme.
Part of the ISA/O3neida series on distributed industrial automation, this book is a practical guide for component-based development of distributed embedded and control systems as proposed by the new international standard.
Each chapter is designed as an independent study unit, making the book ideal for use in university courses, industrial training, or self-study.
For the control, automation, or software engineer and the embedded systems developer, this book provides concrete directions on how to specify and implement a distributed system according to the IEC 61499 standard and how to create an IEC61499-compliant control device.
The text also sheds some light on the broader embedded systems arena since the IEC61499 standard provides the higher level (yet executable) abstraction appropriate for model-based engineering of distributed embedded systems.
