Abstract :
A batch process control system built around a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP8L minicomputer is described both in hardware and software. This system allows two levels of operator interaction with the normally automatic production of any of a wide family of chemical products. The wide variety of functions performed by this system range from simple alarm-point monitoring and process logging to on-line closed-loop control.
