Thema der Projektarbeit ....... Vermittlung einer seriellen Verbindung zwischen einer Anlagensteuerung und einer Supportkonsole über das Internet

Thesis title from a final leaving certificate for somebody who studied for Staatlich geprüfter Techniker - Fachrichtung Informationstechnik

I am thinking of using 'system control'. Is that sufficient here or is there as better word?

system controller

In the absence of further context regarding the "Anlage" in question, I would have thought that "system controller" was a perfectly valid translation - and one that is widely used for "Anlagensteuerung".

Thanks Steffen. Of course, "plant" control over "systems"control is only to be preferred if the context allows it.
