A good book for industrial automatic control

A good book for who works in the area of industrial automation and for students who want a complete source of information about that matter. Among its special features, I found a good qualitative explanation for the on/off, P, PI, PD and PID modes of control, showing the physical process that occurs behind each one. It also develops a good theory about the work principles of some measure instruments and sensors. However, although this book covers almost everything in industrial automatic control, it is very brief in commenting some aspects to which more attention should be given. Perhaps the new edition is better than this one. In a few words, if want to have the practical sense of automation and control, this is a good one. But if you want a precise description for every phenomena, look for a book turned to Control Theory.
