Nowadays, in this era of digital buses, one can plug in a laptop or use a wireless hand tool to instantly establish access to all the data, displays and intelligence that resides anywhere on the DCS network. This capability, in combination with the self-turning, self-diagnosing and optimizing features of modern process control, makes both startup acti-vity and operational routines much easier and more efficient. Similarly, Distributed Control Systems2 DCS offer process modeling and simulation, something that can improve operator training a great deal. An accurate simulation model allows operators to train under live conditions without exposing the plant to the consequences of their mistakes. Section II Text 　　　The following paragraphs will provide information to engineers, pro-fessionals and everybody who
