So with this explanation you expect to have one central porccessor for a PLC. If
you use one PLC for a large plant (let's say a refinery) and this PLC fails, all the
plant will stop.
2. DCS systems, on the contrary, are not used for logic operations. They have
some multi-function controllers. Each multi-function controller has some
controllers in itself and can control, for example, 8 instrumentation loops. These
controllers, like a physical controller, can perform PID functions. Each multi-
function controller has its own proccessor. So in a large plant they divide the
functions in different groups, and each group of functions is assigned to one
multi-function controller. So if the proccessor of one multi-function controller fails,
other groups will continue their operations and the plant will not stop completely.
That is why they are called DCS (Distributed Control System). It means the
control responsibilities are distributed.
