Abstract
Process control computers are recognized to be the first big step in filling the gap between control theory and practice, whereas the introduction of microprocessors (μPs) is the second and bigger step [1–7]. Of course it must be noted that the transition to microprocessor-aided control is still slow due to several reasons such as the natural conservatism, of industry, etc. Actually, the direct replacement of a controller by a microprocessor-based version does not always lead to considerably improved performance or very much smaller cost. The main advantage is that with a microcontroller (μP-based controller) one has increased flexibility in modifying its structure, and this is possible by the utilization of low-cost computer facility in small packages.
