Abstract
A control system, a control method and an equalization apparatus for improving process control reliability are provided. In each equalization apparatus, a received-data outputting unit sends, to a network, input data from a sensor measuring a state of a process; an other-apparatus-data receiving unit acquires the input data from the received-data outputting unit and receives, from the network, input data sent from each of other equalization apparatuses than itself; and a data selecting unit selects, as output data, a representative value of the input data acquired by the other-apparatus-data receiving unit. Each computing apparatus calculates a manipulative variable of an actuator based on the output data from a corresponding equalization apparatus.
