The System of Computer Processes
The Computer Process System is the computer-based process system: processes are controlled and monitored by computers. CPS appears in automation documentation – wherever the computer takes over the process control.
Why Processes Are Automated
Computers react faster and more precisely than humans: in the chemical process, in the test stand, in the engine control. The computer process system keeps the parameters in the target range – around the clock, without fatigue.
CPS appears in this meaning mainly in automation documentation. Note that in other contexts CPS also stands for Cycles Per Second – in process contexts, however, CPS means the computer-controlled process system.
