由朱晓青主编的《过程控制与分布式技术和现场总线技术(普通高等教育十二五规划教材)》具有如下特点：

(1)体系结构较为完整。本书内容涵盖过程控制与仪表系统、分布式控制系统、scADA、PLc及智能仪表系统、现场总线系统、通信技术、可靠性技术和工程实践等方面的有关问题。

(2)与工程结合且可读性强。全书图文并茂，虽为英文，但较为通俗易懂。各章自成体系又融会贯通，可方便读者有选择地学习。本书特别开设工程问题一章，就分布式控制系统或现场总线控制系统的工程应用进行讲解。

(3)既注重时代性又注重系统演变的历史。分布式控制系统是从仪表控制系统演变而来，现场总线控制系统主要就是现场仪表的总线化和配备先进的系统软件功能等。本书特别注重仪表技术与分布式控制技术和现场总线技术的有机结合，使读者能够形成较为完整的概念。

由朱晓青主编的《过程控制与分布式技术和现场总线技术(普通高等教育十二五规划教材)》用英文较系统地介绍了有关过程控制的基本理论，以及运用分布式技术、现场总线技术实现过程控制的基本原理与方法。全书共分7章，分别介绍了过程控制与仪表系统的基本概念、分布式控制系统的基本原理与构成、SCADA、PLC及智能仪表的基本构成、现场总线技术与现场总线仪表的基本原理与结构以及有关通信技术、可靠性技术和工程实践等方面的有关问题。

《过程控制与分布式技术和现场总线技术(普通高等教育十二五规划教材)》可作为控制理论与控制工程类专业研究生或自动化与测控类专业本科生相关双语课程教材或教学参考书，也可作为工程技术人员的参考资料。
