A Research Facility for the Investigation of Computer Control of Large-Scale Industrial Processes

The implementation of multi-level control schemes for large industrial processes is discussed, with particular emphasis on the problems of data transmission between computers operating at various levels in the system. The operation of one type of inter-processor data link is considered in detail and...
