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

*ARC: Advanced regulatory control, including feedforward, adaptive gain, override, logic, fuzzy logic, sequence control, device control, inferentials, 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")
