Abstract
Expert system techniques have been rapidly disseminating into process control engineering, with many applications being reported within the last decade. Expert control is bringing a new perspective, as well as new challenges to process control. This paper presents a brief overview of expert control systems and discusses the impact of expert-system techniques on control engineering. The basic ideas, concepts, and fundamental characteristics of expert control systems are elucidated. An emphasis is made on distinctions between conventional expert systems, traditional advanced control systems and expert control systems. A generic architecture for expert control systems is presented. Some important issues relating to the realisation of expert control systems in engineering practice are also investigated.
