Abstract :
Introducing the multi-agent (MA) technology into a distributed control system can improve serviceability and enhance maintenance free with inter-terminal parameter (ITP) method. In addition, the system s distributed intelligent field terminals (IFTs) use a common algorithm that is unaffected by any changes to the system specifications. As a result of these innovations, the serviceability of the proposed system is significantly improved compared to that of conventional systems in case of modification on systems. This system has been implemented for practical purposes at over 40 sites.
