== Terminology ==

*APC: Advanced process control, including feedforward, decoupling, inferentialsinferential, and custom algorithms; usually implies DCS-based.

*ARC: Advanced regulatory control, including adaptive gain, override, logic, fuzzy logic, sequence control, device control, and custom algorithms; usually implies DCS-based.

*Base-Layer: Includes DCS, SIS, field devices, and other DCS subsystems, such as analyzers, equipment health systems, and PLCs.

*BPCS: Basic process control system (see "base-layer")

*DCS: Distributed control system, often synonymous with BPCS

*MPO: Manufacturing planning and optimization

*MPC: Multivariable [[Model predictive control]]

*SIS: [[Safety instrumented system]]
