DCS (Distributed Control System) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) are both industrial control systems. SCADA systems are typically used for geographically dispersed assets, often involving long-distance communication. They are used for monitoring and controlling remote sites and are often used in industries like utilities, oil and gas, and transportation. DCS systems are typically used within a single plant or factory to control processes, providing a more localized control network. Common applications include chemical plants, power generation facilities, and manufacturing plants.
