WHAT IS DISTRIBUTED

CONTROL SYSTEM?
(DCS)

CRBTech.Electrical-Training
As the name itself says distributed control system has
distributed controls throughout the plant area for handling
large complex circuits with difference in geographical
locations in industrial processes.

7 Important features of Distributed Control System.
To deal with complicated processes:
PLC- Programming Logic Controller is used for controlling
and monitoring high speed process parameters in a factory
automation structure but they cannot use complex
structures because of the restriction of the number of input
devices. But then Distributed Control System (DCS) is
mostly suitable for complex systems where more than one
input devices is used for example batch process control.

Hence DCS is recommended for complicated management
programs with more variety of I/Os with devoted remotes.
These are used in production procedures where developing
of several products are in several procedures such as group
procedure management.

System redundancy:

DCS helps program accessibility when needed by same feature

at every stage. It is always good to have a resuming steady state
system after the outputs rather than using automation control
devices. System reliability is increased by maintaining the
system operation on a non stop basis even during some fault
while system is working. There are various algorithms and
application libraries tested before hand along with functions
which are predefined for handling large and complex systems.
This saves a lot of time for programming and control for various
applications.

Powerful Programming Languages:
Ladder, function, block, and sequence are provided by this
language for developing custom programming based on
user interest.

More innovative HMI:
Just like the SCADA program, DCS can also observe and
manage through HMIs (Human Machine Interface) and it
provides data which is sufficient to the owner to charge over
various procedures and it functions as heart of the program.
But this type of industrial control system that includes vast
regional areas whereas DCS covers only a small area.
Just like a PC window, DCS takes the entire process plant
as a control room. Logging, graphical representation, and
new trends of the HMIs give effective customer interface.
For quick response of operators to the plant conditions, a
powerful alarming system of DCS is used.

Scalable platform:
By adding more clients to the communication system or by
adding lots of input output devices in distributed controllers,
DCS can be based on scaling various input/outputs from a
range of small to large server.

System security:
For plant safety access to various control processes are
used. DCS offers help for better safety automation control
as it offers better security system for handling the
automation control. Protection is also offered at different
levels such as entrepreneur level, engineer level, user
stage, etc.
