Abstract: A control system has a master controller having a control program with a primary cause-and-effect matrix defining cause-and-effect relationships between a set of inputs and a set of outputs to control its operation. A number of secondary controllers communicate with the master controller via a network. Each secondary controller has a control program with a secondary cause-and-effect matrix defining cause-and-effect relationships between a set of inputs and a set of outputs to control its operation. Selected inputs/outputs of the cause-and-effect matrices are communicated over the network and linked between the primary and secondary cause-and-effect matrices.

Abstract translation: 控制系统具有主控制器，其具有控制程序，该控制程序具有主要因果矩阵，用于定义一组输入和一组输出之间的因果关系以控制其操作。 多个辅助控制器通过网络与主控制器进行通信。 每个次级控制器具有控制程序，其具有次要因果矩阵，其定义一组输入和一组输出之间的因果关系以控制其操作。 因果矩阵的选定输入/输出通过网络进行通信，并连接在主要和次要因果矩阵之间。
