Abstract

A process control system includes a remote control computer located remotely from where the process is to be performed, and the system includes a monitor computer and a local control computer both located where the process is to be performed. The monitor computer and the local control computer are connected to the remote control computer by a common cable including at most two communication channels, each defined in a preferred embodiment by a respective pair of electrical conductors.
