 DEFINITION

• A distributed control system (DCS) refers to a control system

usually of a manufacturing system, process or any kind of dynamic
system, in which the controller elements are not central in location
(like the brain) but are distributed throughout the system with each
component sub-system.

• DCS (Distributed Control System) is a computerized control system

used to control the production line in the industry controlled by one
or more controllers.
ARCHITECTURE OF DCS
 APPLICATION AREA

• DCS is a very broad term used in a variety of industries,

to monitor and control distributed equipment.
• Electrical power grids and electrical generation plants
• Environmental control systems
• Traffic signals
• Radio signals
• Water management systems
• Oil refining plants
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
 ADVANTAGES OF DCS

• Improved process control with advanced control

algorithms and software.
• Scalability and Flexibility to handle large and complex
processes.
• Access to current and historical data from the data
highway.
• System redundancy and reliability to prevent failures and
maintain operation.
• Enhanced monitoring, reporting, safety, and security
features.
 EMERSON DeltaV DCS

• DeltaV v14 redefines how a distributed control system

should operate, making a step change in usability,
efficiency, and insight. It’s team has obsessed over every
little detail so they can make our job easier. Our operator
user experience (UX) is better than before. It makes our
distributed control system (DCS) more modular and more
secure than ever. And now it opens amazing possibilities
for plant mobility and IIoT enablement that future-proofs
our investment. With DeltaV v14, we get the most
intuitive, scalable, and easy-to-use DCS ever built.
 PROCESS OR APPLICATION

• In a DCS system, the sensors are operated to receive

data and process the information, and transfers the data
to the local input/output modules where the actuators are
also connected to these I/O modules. With this
connection, the process parameters are exactly managed.
From here, the received data is collected and sent to the
process controlling section through a field bus. In the case
of smart field appliances, the sensed data will get directly
transmitted to the process controlling section, and the
gathered data is again processed, evaluated, and
generates the result depending on the CONTRO LOGIC that
is executed in the controller.
 SCAN TIME

• In a DCS, the concept is slightly different. The scan time in

DCS refers to the time in which the processor completes
scanning and processing.
• Unlike PLCs, DCS systems often have multiple processors
working in parallel, handling different tasks. Each processor
has its own scan time.
• The DCS scan time is critical for ensuring timely data
processing and control actions.
• SCADA/HMI systems, which interface with DCS, also have
their own polling intervals to retrieve data from the DCS
processors.
