When has the rapid development of the integrated circuit changed the prospect of CDC and indeed of all process control? Text The first application of digital computers to industrial process was one developed for the plant monitoring of an electric power generation station at Sterlington, Louisiana, plant of Louisiana Power and Light Company in September, 1958 The next logical step in the development of computer control systems was the use of a computer to bypass the analog controllers of Fig.16.3 and to control the process directly. To compensate for the unreliability of the computer hardware, another hot standby” computer or a complete analog backup system paralleling the DDC was needed, again greatly increasing its cost. The first practical and commercially successful distributed control system was developed by the Honeywell Company starting in 1969 to replace the earlier failed, centralized computer system and to solve the problem of DDC system reliability.
