Distributed Control Systems
What is Distributed Control Systems?
A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a computerized control system for a plant or system, usually with a large number of control loops, in which autonomous controllers are distributed throughout the system, but there is central operator supervisory control. This contrasts with non-distributed control systems, such as PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems, which are typically centralized and provide discrete control. DCS are used in a wide array of industries, including oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, water and wastewater treatment, and manufacturing. They are used to monitor and control industrial processes, optimize operations, improve efficiency, and enhance safety.
