Distributed Process Control 1. Central control room provides centralized information 2.

Cost and complexity of wiring could be reduced by using the digital signal 3. Permits a functional distribution of the tasks among many processor 4. Reducing the risk of everything failing at once 5. Possible to allow physical distribution 6. To open up many news possibilities for trying central information to local control in those plants 7. Gives the operator single window into process 8. The operators no longer have to tour the plant 9. Shorter wiring runs 10. No wires between controllers and control room 11. Less risk failure 12. A more scalable system 13. Still had to have sensors and final element wired to control cabinet and interconnection between different vendors component.
