Sorry in advance if this duplicates a previous posting) Hi all- I'm looking for information on companies selling software/hardware combinations that will handle control (and possibly monitoring) of a basic laboratory distillation column. I know there are many sources for the bits and pieces (A-D convertors, etc) but I'm wondering if anyone has put together a subsystem capable of doing typical laboratory or pilot plant type control. Failing this, is there a Sun or DEC or PC based sub-system to set up several PID control loops ?
