Abstract

Industrial process control requires acquisition of data, calculation of the appropriate control action and output of a signal to effect that control action. The advent of microcomputers has resulted in a trend towards distributed, rather than centralized, control. This trend is in part due to the development of interfaces for industrial input and output. After, an introduction to the requirements for data acquisition and control, the development of microcomputer systems is traced, illustrated by consideration of particular units.
