# PLC is first invented and developed to be used with
discrete - on/off control & with small scale applications.
# DCS is designed and fabricated to handle modulating/PID
control applications & to serve in large scale I/Os
applications.
# with great progress and achievements in plc h/w and
networking technologies we have PID algorithms with PLC and
also plc become able to handle wide range of I/O'S like
DCS, actually with good engineering the one can build his
own DCS with multible PLCs.
# But actually with great engineering to build the DCS from
multible PLCs it will not be the same as pre-built/ready to
use DCS system in its functionality and its features.
# DCS is pre-fabricated system with compatible, integrated,
and tested H/W & S/W - has the following features:
- data collection & management.
- event and history management.
- instrument management.
- alarms management.
- smart and self diagnostics.
- advanced control strategy and easy to build, configure
control loops.
- redundancy.

Answer / dibyendu
the scan time for plc is much lesser than dcs and plc can
hanhle digital signal more efficiently,dcs can handle analog
signal more efficiently.

Answer / joe mccabe
A lot of IO..specifically for a larger operation where there
are is lot of PID control, taking in analog inputs and
controlling outputs.

Answer / hari
DCS can handle 32 loops can be handle in single shot.
but plc can perform less than DCS..
DCS had faster scaning time.
plc can handle 6 loop in single shot
DCS can be programmed like FBD

Answer / anil
In DCS Scan time of each channel can be set but in PLC the
scan time is fix

Answer / alok
where lot of no. io's are used there we used dcs this basic
difference b/w dcs and plc.
