DESIGN, CONFIGURATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FIELDBUS SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING OF A PROCESS PLANT

The first process control systems used mechanical and pneumatic controllers, and were run conservatively for stability rather than economic performance. In the 1950s, the first electronic controllers were introduces that used analog signals with simple devices, and later in the 1970s distributed...
