  • Abstract
    PROSPRO is a real-time on-line system for implementing automatic control of process units. It requires a knowledge of the industrial process and its control characteristics, but not of computer programming. Fill-in-the-blanks forms are provided for specifying generalized logic, calculation, and control procedures with the capacity for implementing not only normal control actions, but also special-exception operations and advanced control techniques. The generalized features permit reliable interprogram communications and automatic documentation.
