Introduction
In 1950, Brown & campbell proposed use of computer in process control. In 1954, computer was used for real time in air borne application Digitrac digital computer was used
First Industrial computer control system called RW-300 (RamoWoolridge Company) was installed at Port Arthur refinery of Texaco Company in Texas which achieved closed loop in march 1959. The first direct digital control (DDC) computer system was Ferranti Argus 200 system installed in November 1962 at ICI ammonia soda plant at Fleetwood, Lancashire. 1959 1962 : The early period 1963 1974 : Centralized computer control ( Mainframe and mini computer architecture) 1975 onwards : Advent of the microprocessor and distributed computer control system.
Active applications
Above all and manipulation of process as well Optimization of process
Classification of computer aided process control 1. Batch or Sequential Process 2. Continuous control 3. Supervisory control 4. Direct Digital control .
Batch process
DDC software
DDC drawbacks
If only one processor was used , a single failure could affect a large number of controlled variables and possibly disable an entire process.
Computer aided process control architecture Centralized computer control Distributed computer control Hierarchical computer control
