Autonomous Decentralized Control System for Batch Process

Abstract

In the chemical process industry, batch processes are becoming important increasingly. But there is a problem in the present control system regarding human management and maintenance. Therefore, this paper is proposed a framework of autonomous decentralized control system for chemical batch processes. In this framework, the control systems become easy to supervise and interrupt by human operators. The management of recipe and facility is becoming simple to maintain and modify. Through a case study, it has been shown that the proposed framework can provide a useful implementation of batch control system.
