Sensors and actuators connected to the STIM of an NCAP can perform a localized control function like maintaining the constant temperature of a bath, the constant pressure of a hydraulic system or the constant flow of a liquid in a pipe. The NCAP reports measured data, process information and control status to other NCAP(s), a remote station or host in the network, which frees the host from actually having to operate or control itself.
