The range of control system implementation is from [[compact controller]]s often with dedicated software for a particular machine or device, to [[distributed control system]]s for industrial process control for a large [[physical plant]].

Logic systems and feedback controllers are usually implemented with [[programmable logic controller]]s. The Broadly Reconfigurable and Expandable Automation Device (BREAD) is a recent framework that provides many [[open-source hardware]] devices which can be connected to create more complex [[data acquisition]] and control systems.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hafting |first1=Finn K. |last2=Kulas |first2=Daniel |last3=Michels |first3=Etienne |last4=Chipkar |first4=Sarvada |last5=Wisniewski |first5=Stefan |last6=Shonnard |first6=David |last7=Pearce |first7=Joshua M. |date=2023-12-05 |title=Modular Open-Source Design of Pyrolysis Reactor Monitoring and Control Electronics |journal=Electronics |language=en |volume=12 |issue=24 |pages=4893 |doi=10.3390/electronics12244893 |doi-access=free |issn=2079-9292}}</ref>
