1. Industrial Automation: Learn the current and leading-edge research on SCADA security
2019 by Vikalp Joshi, Manoj Singh Adhikari, Raju Patel, Rajesh Singh, Anita Gehlot
In the grand quest to make machines do all the work while humans sit back and drink tea, automation has become the undisputed champion—except when it isn’t. Industrial Automation dives deep into the mysterious world of SCADA and PLCs, those enigmatic systems that keep factories, power plants and just about everything else running (until they don’t). Vikalp Joshi, Manoj Singh Adhikari, Raju Patel, Rajesh Singh and Anita Gehlot explore how industrial automation actually works, how it sometimes goes horribly wrong, and—most importantly—how to keep it secure so that a rogue toaster doesn’t end up taking down the national grid. With multiple-choice questions sprinkled throughout (because nothing says “automation mastery” like a pop quiz), this book is perfect for engineering students, competitive exam warriors and anyone who has ever wondered why industrial systems still seem to communicate in a dialect only slightly more advanced than Morse code.

2. Industrial Automation: Hands On
2013 by Frank Lamb
For those who have ever stared at a blinking control panel in utter confusion, Industrial Automation: Hands-On is here to assure you that yes, automation is complicated—but no, it doesn’t have to be your arch-nemesis. Frank Lamb takes you on a whirlwind tour of control systems, machine building and all the wonderfully intricate bits of industrial automation that keep factories humming and humans only mildly frustrated. Packed with charts, tables and enough practical advice to make even the most stubborn piece of machinery cooperate (hopefully), this book is equally useful for beginners looking to demystify automation and seasoned professionals who just want things to work without resorting to percussive maintenance (also known as hitting it until it listens). Covering everything from Lean manufacturing to software, hardware and the deeply philosophical question of why machines seem to break only when you need them most, this is the ultimate guide to making automation work for you—instead of against you.

3. Modern Industrial Automation Software Design
2006 by Lingfeng Wang, Kay CHen Tan
If you’ve ever looked at a factory floor full of blinking lights, robotic arms and mysterious error messages and thought, Surely, someone must know what all this does?—then Modern Industrial Automation Software Design is here to reassure you. Probably. Lingfeng Wang and Kay Chen Tan take you on a whirlwind tour of how to make industrial automation software that actually works, rather than just looking impressive while doing nothing useful. With a hands-on approach (which is ironic, given that automation is all about not using hands), this book covers everything from simple programming logic to complex, real-world industrial problems that could make even the most seasoned engineer break into a cold sweat. Whether you’re a practicing engineer, a researcher, or just someone who enjoys making machines do your bidding, this book is an indispensable guide to the art and science of keeping automation running—without accidentally creating a rogue AI overlord in the process.

4. Manufacturing Automation at the Crossroads: Standardization in CIM Software
1993 by Louis-François Pau, Jan-Olaf Willums
Once upon a time, manufacturing was simple: people built things with their hands, occasionally hitting them with hammers to make them fit. Then computers came along and promised to make everything faster, smarter and more efficient—until they all started speaking different languages, refusing to cooperate and generally behaving like a room full of stubborn diplomats. Manufacturing Automation at the Crossroads dives into this technological soap opera, where factories are now littered with “islands of automation”—each one running its own fancy software, none of them willing to talk to the others. Louis-François Pau and Jan-Olaf Willums dissect the chaos of integrating these digital fiefdoms into a single, functional whole, guiding system integrators through the perilous waters of standardization, compatibility and the occasional existential crisis about why factories ever thought automation was supposed to make life easier. If you've ever tried to make two supposedly "universal" systems communicate and ended up feeling like a medieval alchemist, this book is for you.
