Industries are now moving towards PC-based control from PLC (Programmable Logic Control) based control as the PC (personal computer) is easily available and capable of implementing various control strategies to improve productivity. Advances in both hardware and software technology are expediting this move. Absence of a user friendly, cost effective and easy to apply advanced control strategy based software is the motivation for this work. In this paper we reviewed issues of software

Neural network model based DIC (Direct Inverse Control) strategy is implemented to control the process. The application and results shows the viability and robustness of the advanced control software and its superiority over the conventional PID (proportional integral derivative) controller.
