Overview

  • In implementing a process control system, several special factors need to be considered.
  • These are brought about due to controlling real-time events, and the downstream effect of a system failure.
  • For example,
    a watering system that doesn't come on when the plants are dry will result in plants that are stunted or possibly dead.
