I am not familiar with that book. an alternative is Decentralization with PROFIBUS DP/DPV1: Architecture and Fundamentals, Configuration and Use with SIMATIC S7 by Josef Weigmann and Gerhard Kilian (Hardcover - Mar. 1, 2004). I have the 2000 version and it is quite detailed. The book can be purchased through Amazon. I found this on the Profi-bus.co.uk site: Every delegate will receive a free copy of the new book: Catching the Process Fieldbus: An Introduction to PROFIBUS Written by presenter James Powell and Henry Vandelinde, the bookwas published March 1/09 and brings the world of industrial communications to the beginner.The authors take the multidimensional, occasionally confusing mixture of fieldbuses, software packages, and media that defines industrial communications and make it accessible. James Powell, PS2 Communications Product Manager at Siemens Milltronics comments: " My intent was not to write the definitive and comprehensive handbook on PROFIBUS. There are others who are far more qualified than I to undertake that task. I wanted to show that when industrial communications is understood and then installed with forethought and care, network operation can be both beneficial and painless." To that end, the book is designed to speak to the beginner, to take that interested newbie by the hand and guide him/her through the bus route to communication success. However, this is not a how-to manual. Rather, think of it as a primer laying the groundwork for communication design, providing information for the curious to explore and motivation for the dedicated to go further. Jörg Freitag, Chairman of PROFIBUS International enthuses, "the book is an excellent appetizer - a great introduction to the world of PROFIBUS." Topics discussed include BUS operations, protocol details, physical layers and networks, network design basics, installation tips and suggestions, commissioning, maintenance, plant asset management, and troubleshooting. All of these topics are designed to speak to the beginner – to take the whole of PROFIBUS as a fieldbus and spread it out for everyone to sample and to investigate. Ron Mitchell, author of PROFIBUS - a pocket guide, recommends it for anyone interested in industrial communications, "Very good book! I particularly like your examples from site visits." To order copies of the book, please direct your email to learningcenter.smpi@siemens.com . good luckbillwest |
