Abstract: Abstract In the 1950s and 1960s, control and protection systems for complex systems, say for process and nuclear systems, were built around valve-based technology and later employed electromagnetic relay logics. In the 1970s, solid-state technology changed the way protection and controls were built. Solid-state electronic technology employed microchips to process the control and logics and provided an elegant solution for the design of control and protection systems. These systems were finding applications through the 1970s until the end of the millennium when digital technology was used even in safety-critical systems.
