Today, reliability and availability receive considerable attention in configuring and designing industrial control systems. To ensure a reliable operation over their life cycle, today’s control loops are well equipped with monitoring and diagnosis units, which also allow a performance (state) oriented maintenance management of the overall control system. In this talk, some ideas for the feedback control system configuration, reliable, fault-tolerant operation and plug-and-play maintenance are presented.
