ABSTRACT:
An improved setpoint control system is disclosed for use in conjunction with process control equipment. The system generates signals representing a statistical characteristic of batches, or subgroups, of monitored values of a controlled variable. From these statistical characteristic signals, the system generates an optimum setpoint signal as a sum of a specification limit and a scaled value of the standard deviation of averages of each of a plurality of batches controlled variable values.
