Abstract
The first edition of this handbook was published almost a decade ago, in 2005. It gave a fairly comprehensive picture of the specialized communication networks used in diverse application areas. Solutions and technologies proposed for and deployed in process automation and on the factory floor dominated the volume. The last ten years or so have seen the remarkable success of Ethernetbased solutions adopted and standardized for real-time applications?some safety critical. The rapid evolution of newer power electronics technologies and the development of new ones called for a new edition of this handbook. Hopefully, this edition will be useful to a broad spectrum of professionals involved in the conception, design and development, standardization, and the use of specialized communication networks. It will also have the potential to be adopted by academic instructors. The industry demand for practical knowledge of specialized communication networks, as well as hands-on exposure to the equipment, is on the rise. Academic institutions engaged in engineering education and vocational training have an important role in adequately preparing future engineering graduates to enter the profession equipped with the practical knowledge sought by the industry. The book offers a comprehensive treatment of specialized communication networks, with chapters segregated by industry sectors and application domains.
