what is DCS?

Answer Posted / kamal rawat

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 controlled by one or more controllers. The entire
system of controllers are connected by networks for
communication and monitoring.


DCS is a very broad term used in a variety of industries,
to monitor and control distributed equipment.
