that will provide a desired system response.

What is a DCS
A distributed control system (DCS) refers to a decentralized control
system in which the controller elements are not central in location but are
distributed throughout the system with each component sub-system
controlled by one or more controllers. The entire system of controllers is
connected by networks for communication and monitoring.
Input and output modules form component parts of
the DCS. The processor receives information from
input modules and sends information to output
modules.

4. What is CENTUM CS 3000
CENTUM is an integrated production
control system (DCS) that is used in a
wide variety of industries to manage
and control plant operations.
In 1975, Yokogawa introduced
CENTUM, the world's first distributed
control system.
"CENTUM" comes from the Latin word
"CENT" meaning "one hundred." The
ending "UM" is commonly used for
inanimate items such as aluminum and
stadium. CS means Customer
Satisfaction

An HIS serves as a human interface
for operation, monitoring, and
engineering.
For connections to the Vnet/IP, a VI701 Control
Bus Interface Card is used.

48. Difference between DCS and PLC
Turn the clock back 10-15 years: The programmable logic controller (PLC) is king of machine
control while the distributed control system (DCS) dominates process control.
Today, the two technologies share kingdoms as the functional lines between them continue to
blur. We now use each where the other used to rule. However, PLCs still dominate high-speed
machine control, and DCSs prevail in complex continuous processes.
DCSs performed hundreds of analog measurements and controlled dozens of analog outputs,
using multi-variable Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control. With the same 8-bit
microprocessor technology that gave rise to the DCS, PLCs began replacing conventional
relay/solid-state logic in machine control. PLCs dealt with contact input/output (I/O) and
started/stopped motors by performing Boolean logic calculations.
When PLCs were solely replacements for hard-wired relays, they had only digital I/O, PLCs
now have many DCS-like control functions (e.g., PID algorithms) and analog I/O.
Since the PLC was integrated with Analog I/O it crosses the boundary of being just digital and
crosses to the realm of DCS in handling Analogs, Bus Systems, Distributed I/O and etc. Also,
since the DCS now handles logics of Digital I/O it also crossed the boundary to the realm of
PLC.
However PLCs are still faster, these were used for small system or a machine, Digital I/Os and
DCS was used for Analog I/Os.
49. Difference between SCADA and DCS
SCADA is an abbreviation for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition .
DCS stands for Distributed Control System.
Normally, a SCADA system will get the data from a RTU (remote terminal unit). A RTU runs
independently, except for some control from the central supervisory system such as fire
fighting, emergency shut-down (i.e water & oil pipelines). The communication path will be
through a GSM, wireless technology, etc...
For a DCS system, it controls the process as a stand-alone system. It has the control loops built
into it's own controller. The communication path will be through something like a LAN high-
speed Ethernet, or other communications network. DCS is a single unit, or a group of local
units
However, a DCS certainly does Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), while a
SCADA system often implements a (form of a) Distributed Control System (DCS).
Nevertheless, in practice, SCADA is used for control and monitoring of geographically large
areas. These are typically found in distribution systems (electricity, water/wastewater,
municipal pipelines, etc), Transmission systems (oil and gas pipelines or electrical
transmission), and operations that cover a large region (such as mines and oil fields).
Editor's Notes
"CENTUM“ name was selected because this product series can flexibly handle hundreds of applications and perfectly (100%) meets customers' requirements.
redundancy
control bus communications are carried out via bus 1. Open communications are carried out via bus 2. If a control communications
error occurs at the bus-1 side, control bus communications will be carried out via bus 2. The Vnet/IP uses general purpose
communications devices for network connection.
