A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a computerized control system for a plant or process, where control elements are distributed throughout the system. This differs from centralized systems, where all control is performed at a central location. DCS systems are commonly used in manufacturing plants, power generation facilities, oil and gas refineries, water and wastewater treatment plants, and other industrial processes to monitor and control equipment and processes. They typically involve a central supervisory control level connected to distributed controllers that manage local process parameters. DCS provides a robust and reliable platform for automation, optimization, and data acquisition.
