Industrial Data Communications: Fundamentals and Applications (Bmc Series)

For readers with a general technical education and semi-literacy with computers, introduces the principles to the level that they can read the literature and carry on a technical conversation. On the basis that the first and most difficult hindrance to learning the subject is the jargon, uses a conversational style to introduce the concepts first then tag them with the appropriate and necessary jargon. Enlarged and revised to incorporate not only the new technology, but also the increased familiarity with it over the past six years. Includes a glossary, mostly of acronyms.
