CyboCon Dragon Advanced Micro DCS

CyboCon Dragon is an Advanced Micro Distributed Control System (DCS). DCS is often referred to as the “dinosaur”; but when new technology like Model-Free Adaptive (MFA) control is added to the DCS, the dinosaur can evolve into a “dragon”.

CyboCon Dragon is user-friendly, easy to install and maintain. It is an ideal control unit; light, micro, flexible, mobile, and complete. It works as a stand-alone black box, or with a keyboard and mouse, or via network from a PC. Control speed is up to 1 millisecond. Pre-loaded software provides a complete solution.

CyboCon Professional Edition software may also include these special MFA controllers:

• MFA XRT controller to control exothermal reactor temperature that also
  has large time delays,
• Anti-Inverse MFA controller to control processes that change signs or
  acting types, and
• Bi-directional MFA controller to control processes with distinct behavior
  changes.
