I am most familiar with Batch Control in terms of the manufacture of speciality chemicals or in the contol of inertia simulation dynamometers. Most batch control systems contain subsystems which require continuous control: these can be either true continuous real-time control processes or batch processes which start but never finish. In that philosophical sense batch control can be considered a superset that includes both batch and continuous control.



Every industry seems to have its own terminology in terms of control (especially batch control), which doesn't help.
