DIGITAL CONTROL COMPUTERS Functions and Application.

From: Plant Engineering | Date: October 1, 1997| Author: | Copyright information

AN INTELLIGENT SYSTEM engineering approach is required for the successful application of digital control computer in automating an industrial process. A digital control computer can perform one function, or several, and determining exactly what is needed for a particular process or plant is a critical step.

The first effort must be a preliminary study to establish the technical and economic feasibility of computer control. This, in turn, requires a thorough knowledge of the process itself, and an equally complete knowledge of the functions that can be performed by a control ...
