Systems perform  control operations for both batch and continuous processes.  User functionality includes recipe management, user friendly operator interfaces, management reporting, and system diagnostic functions.  Real-time information to operator personnel is always the standard for CC+I control systems.

Fault tolerant features are designed into critical processes to eliminate potential disruptions of operations.  UPS systems, optical isolation for I/O devices, and microprocessor based architecture designed specifically for the industrial control environment, are some examples.
