Answer / naveediqbalsher@yahoo.com
PLC mean programmable logic controler
DCS mean distribution control system
before different plc have digital inputs & outputs but DCS
digital & analog both.
now new plc also both digital & analoge inputs & outputs
in plc we can not change in software during running but in
DCS we can.also plc for small inputs &outputs but dcs for
big industries i mean more inputs & outputs.
plc have quick reponse than DCS.

Answer / mohamed rafik
PLC - PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER
It is sequential Control the limited I/O'S from the digital & analog.and it's single device to control the field process variable.
DCS - DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM
It is continuous control the no of I/O's from the field.and it is consist no of controller to control the no of process variable.

Answer / muralikrishna
plc, dcs are the controllers,
plc it controlling or operatig only one function
