ABSTRACT:
A controller with configurable connections between data processing components that is optimized to provide a particular function such as temperature control is provided. In one embodiment, the controller includes a number of configurable inputs and outputs that may be used with digital and/or analog signals. The controller includes a data processor with a plurality of data processing components including a first and a second loop control function. The inputs and outputs which are configurable to the loop control functions are defined as a set of allowed inputs and outputs for each of the loop control functions. The set of allowed inputs and outputs for the first loop control function is a subset of the set of allowed inputs and outputs for the second loop control function.
