Abstract
The aim of any industrial process control system is to achieve optimal operation of the process, with the word “optimal” to be taken as in reference to a specific performance criterion. Such a result is obtained by maintaining the different process variables at the desired values, or by varying them along specifyied paths. In the past, due to electronics limitations, instrumentation was basically analogical, and regulators were analogical PI or PID; the subsequent widespread diffusion of computers then led to the Direct Digital Control (DDC) phase.
