Automatedo | What is DCS? | Distributed Control System @Automatedo | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
🎥 As a control engineer, you know about the challenges that today’s industrial automation systems are facing. So, you can put your trust in a powerful, versatile, safe process control technology that can maximize production asset utilization to get higher efficiency which is called DCS.
By watching this video, you’ll get the answer to these questions:
- What is DCS mean?
- What is DCS stands for?
- What are DCS features?
- What is DCS architecture?
- What are DCS applications?
- What are DCS components?
- What is DCS working principle?
======================================================
💬 Video Summary:
- DCS is short for Distributed Control System, but as its term is developed over time, nowadays, the DCS is known as Decentralized Control System.
- The DCS is a computerized control system that coordinates and monitors a whole process or factory that consists of many autonomous controllers deployed across a facility that can handle many continuous operations with lots of analog signals and intricate PID control loops.
- DCS is well-known in the continuous manufacturing processes such as petrochemicals, nuclear power plants, water management systems, and automobile industries, among others.
- A typical facility starts with the integrated operator control center, often referred to as the Operator Station, which is the heart of the system.
- In the next level of components, we find the Server, Archiving Computer (Storage Computer, Historian), and Designing Station (Engineering Station).
- We see the master Controllers (Process Stations) and Supervision and Command units (HMIs) at the next level.
- To measure and control the different parameters in industrial processes, we need instrumentations like sensors and actuators located at the field device level. This level also includes Distributed or Remote IOs that can sense and control digital and analog signals by their IO modules.
- There would be two CPUs instead of one in a DCS control cabinet. One is our primary CPU, while the other is a redundant CPU.
- Because a DCS takes a lot of time to analyze data, it is not the best choice when response times are crucial.
- DCS is a scalable platform, which means it can handle newly installed equipment and data integration to unify the whole control system.
- And at last, relying on DCS will increase the system safety. Because the manufacturer provides both the control and monitoring equipment as an integrated package which minimizes the chances of integration faults.
