Principles of Construction of Integrated Automatic Control Systems for Enterprises with a Continuous Character of Production.

Relying on the experience accumulated by the authors in the course of the development and introduction into service of integrated automatic control systems of enterprises (IACSE) for a number of industrial plans with continuous technology, the main principles that should lie in the basis of IACSE are formulated. In particular, the principles of systems approach, nonadditivity, unity of technological information, and a number of others encompass all the aspects of integration in the automatic control systems of enterprises, viz. the functional algorithmic technological, and informational integration. The content and character of each principle and its place in the development of IACSE are briefly discussed.
