Process control systems deals with architectures,
mechanisms, and algorithms for monitoring and controlling the
intake and output of a specific process. Automation has had a
notable
impact
in wide range of industries
beyond manufacturing. Limited access to financial and
technical resources is the major barrier in adopting advanced
process control technologies in small scale industries. This
paper describes the design aspects of Industrial System
Monitoring Autonomous Remote Terminal (iSMART): Multi
Loop Controller designed and developed by CDAC. The
iSMART is equipped with modern data acquisition facilities,
new generation control algorithms, and next generation
communication interfaces. Custom configurable system
provides freedom for the end users to selectively choose the
most appropriate module for their application. iSMART could
be used for the real-time implementation of feed forward or
cascade control schemes, self-tuning or adaptive algorithms or
optimization strategies. The iSMART is designed in such a way
that it competes with the products of pioneers in automation in
terms of the salient features and tops the above with respect to
cost-effectiveness. The
developed module provides a
progressive path of adaptive migration to tomorrow’s advanced
Automation Systems Technology especially for small scale
industries
