DCS and PLC Configuration Programming, Testing, and Implementation
Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controllers(PLC) are both beneficial in controlling complex production automation and safety processes. The differences between the two control approaches have become minimal as technology increases, but each has some specific applications.
Put simply, a PLC is principally an industrial computer and associated sensors that controls one or more production processes while a DCS is a system of industrial computers and associated sensors that regulate controls deployed across the entire plant. Both allow manufacturers to:
