Digital instrumentation and control (I&C) systems have proven to be useful and beneficial in a wide range of applications including fossil-fueled power generation, electric power distribution, petroleum refining, petrochemical production, aerospace, and some nuclear power plant applications (e.... core protection calculators, diesel generator load sequencers, a few digital reactor protection systems, and plant radiation monitoring systems).... ventually, this transition led to today's modern multilayered architectures in which (a) local controllers perform component control functions, (b) higher- (system-) level control stations coordinate in a supervisory mode the operations of multiple components in a system or multiple systems in a unit, and (c) higher-level stations perform plant-level supervisory functions and data analyses.
