An additional benefit of distributed control is that it supports reconfiguration of production processes or automation sequences without major rewiring or reprogramming. However, distributed control also comes with some risks, namely, network latency, synchronization errors, and integration complexity. How Can I Implement Distributed Control? ISA-88 focuses on batch process control, providing a framework for designing and implementing batch control systems such as recipe management, equipment control, and procedural control.
