A computer supervising individual controllers has a memory and a programmer, the memory storing a set of operating modules and control information of individual controllers, the programmer making a control program for each controller by providing software wiring of the operating modules based on the control information therefor, whereby the individual controllers are started by the control program and control information from the computer, while during operation the controllers transmit the latest control information to the computer for updating the control information in the computer.

A process control system for controlling process variables of a process at different portions thereof, the process control system comprising: a plurality of controllers coupled to a process at different portions thereof to control process variables thereat, each controller having, coupled together, an initial load means for loading, an input interface means for receiving input signals representing measured value of a process variable being controlled, an output interface means for sending out output signals to a corresponding portion of the process, a random access memory (RAM) means, a central processing unit (CPU), a fault detector circuit producing a detection signal upon detection of controller runaway, and a transmission interface, said RAM means for storing a control program and control information including a set point of the process variable being controlled and the measured value of said process variable, said CPU running said control program so as to produce the output signals based on said input signals and said control information, said output signals acting on said portion of the process so as to minimize difference between said set point and said measured value of the variable being controlled; a supervisory computer having, coupled together, a memory means for storing the control informations of said controllers, said control informations covering said set points of the variables being controlled, operating modules for effecting mathematical operations, operating loops, operating modes, parameters of the controllers and said detection signals, said operating modes being formulated by said supervisory computer by selectively combining said operating modules and said parameters so as to selectively produce different combinations of on-off, proportional, derivative, and integral control actions; a programmer means for automatically editing control programs for said controllers based on said control information; and a transmission control means controlling signal transmission both between said transmission interface of the controllers and said memory means and between said transmission interface of the controllers and said programmer means; and transmission lines extending between said transmission interfaces of the controllers and said transmission control means of the supervisory computer, whereby, said supervisory computer selectively transmits initial control programs and initial parameters to individual controllers for loading therein through said initial loader means so as to start said controllers with the initially loaded control programs and parameters, while during operation each controller samples relevant control parameters through said means for receiving input signals and transmits the sampled parameters to said supervisory computer so as to update the control parameters stored in the memory means thereof, and in response to the detection signal said programmer means of the supervisory computer automatically edits the control program of the runaway-detected controller immediately before the runaway based on the updated control information and said transmission control means of the supervisory computer transmits the thus edited control program to the runaway-detected controller.
