Abstract:

The overall objectives of this Digital Network Control DNC costs benefits analysis are a. Specify and quantify the cost benefits of those DNC operational benefits capable of analysis. b. Determine the optimality of the DNC design and application resulting from the first eight tasks when examined in the framework of total network costs. c. Examine the dependence of DNC hardware on ATEC for control and quantify any cost relationships. d. Compare and contrast the five DNC alternatives and the baseline system in order to recommend the most cost-effective approach for augmenting DCS system control with a DNC capability.
