A method and apparatus for controlling production processes utilizing a three-state, four-mode process controller which operates on the basis of counteracting any process change by utilizing the difference between a feedback signal related to a current condition of the process and a desired value related to the desired condition of the process, and a signal related to the rate of change between said feedback signal and said desired value signal, to produce a correction signal which is utilized to operate said three-state, four-mode process controller in its three states depending on certain relationships between the value of the desired value and feedback signals, as well as the summation of those values.
