Abstract

Engineering process control is a reasonably mature discipline. Many books and papers have been published on the subject, and it is an integral part of many engineering curricula. Control systems are used in aircraft, chemical plants, and even robot manipulation. Although there are many other types of control, in this chapter we will discuss only feedback control, and that discussion will be quite limited. The purpose of the chapter is to provide a brief, basic introduction to classical process control. We will then introduce fuzzy process control and, finally, introduce the relatively new idea of probabilistic process control.
