Conventionally, this type of controller is electrically controlled (one-person control)
In addition, by performing instrumentation control (DDC), the information is transmitted to the host computer, and the host computer displays the information on the CRT screen based on the transmitted information. In other words, the upper computer uses the CRT to start and stop the equipment, the lower controller receives the information, the plant equipment is operated, and the information that the operation has been performed is sent to the CRT screen of the upper computer via the controller via the transmission path. Driving display. In this case, the responsiveness (the time from when the device is started and stopped by the CRT of the host computer until the operation display of the plant is displayed on the CRT) is slow, which is a problem.
