Process control in the textile industry is an important problem in view         of the tremendous volumes of material involved.  In this research a             distributed control system will be evaluated.  The objectives are to            establish that second-generation distributed control systems can be             used generically as simulators, to develop concepts for use of                  distributed control techniques in textile processing, to drive suitable         control algorithms, and to test the results in a neighboring textile            plant.  A Beckman RMV 9000 distributed control system will be used to           emulate an existing dyeing operation.  Plant data will be used to               design the process simulation and to check the predictions.  Process            graphics will be a novel feature.  Analog and digital functions will be         determined for the dynamics of the components of the process.  Screen           displays of variable trends will be provided.
