Bring structure, consistency, and operational discipline to continuous process automation. This practical guide presents a clear framework for applying ISA-106 principles to the design, implementation, testing, and lifecycle management of procedure-based control systems.
Written for control engineers, automation specialists, process engineers, operations leaders, and technical managers, the book explains how to turn operating knowledge into dependable procedures that coordinate control logic, equipment modules, operator actions, permissives, interlocks, and safety responses.
What you will learn
- Define procedural automation, operating modes, process states, transitions, and ISA-106 terminology.
- Convert process narratives and operating objectives into structured automation requirements.
- Build state-based models that distinguish normal operation, abnormal conditions, emergency actions, holds, pauses, aborts, and recovery.
- Design modular procedures with reusable operations, unit procedures, actions, interfaces, data contracts, naming standards, and version controls.
- Coordinate regulatory control, equipment modules, setpoints, control-loop ownership, permissives, interlocks, and protective actions.
- Develop safe, repeatable startup, shutdown, depressurization, product-changeover, feed-transition, and utility-transition sequences.
- Handle exceptions through fault detection, response branches, recovery strategies, alarm coordination, and interaction with safety systems.
- Create operator displays that show procedure status, progress, next actions, blocking conditions, prompts, confirmations, and manual intervention options.
- Translate procedural models into DCS and control-system applications while integrating historians, asset systems, reports, configuration data, and recipe values.
- Establish traceability, test coverage, simulation practices, FAT, SAT, operator trials, change governance, performance monitoring, and workforce training.
Practical guidance through realistic examples
Each chapter connects design principles with an applied scenario, including a batch-to-continuous transition, process-heater startup, pump-train changeover, vessel startup, distillation-column startup, cooling-water recovery, compressor startup, unit-sequence implementation, multi-stage shutdown testing, and procedure revision after a control-valve replacement.
The final chapters bring these ideas together with reusable patterns for sequential and parallel actions, shared-utility coordination, restart after power or system recovery, and the integration of safety, quality, and production constraints. Rather than treating procedures as isolated sequences, the book shows how they fit into a controlled operational system that remains understandable, testable, maintainable, and adaptable.
A focused reference for building reliable procedure-based control strategies across the full lifecycle of continuous process operations.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
