Distributed power, a new control concept

$15.00

With the introduction of distributed digital logic to control process lines in the early 1980’s, the Wire Industry began utilizing the precise control and data acquisition capabilities inherent in digital systems to accelerate its quest for higher production speeds and increased product quality. The advancement of Distributed Control in the late 1980’s provided a flexible architecture wherein controllers could be installed throughout the process and communicate with each other high-speed networks to form a tightly integrated system.
