PLC is programmable logic controller. It has got wide
application like controlling a drive, motor or any other
batch process. PLC's have got capacity to handle less
number of input.
DCS is distributed control system. It has got application
where there are large number of inputs/outputs. Used for
large process handling.
SCADAA is supervisory control and data acqusition. SCADA
System usually consists of the following subsystems:
PLC, HMI,RTU.

Answer / anisha

PLC and DCS are used based on the application such as where
programmable controlling is required. It has a controller in
it with inbuilt communication protocols. PLC is used in
small scale controlling application inorder to automate it
whereas DCS is used for controlling a large scale automated
industries. whereas SCADA i.e Supervisiory Control And Data
Acquisition. It is used for interfacing Purpose and
supervisiory.

Answer / apoorva landge

And also DCS has a great storage capacity( memory) as compare to PLC and PLC has the best programming system.Therefore in most of the industries DCS and PLC is interfaced to get better results.. SCADA on the other hand is used when the control room is far away from the field. it is used to communicate at a long distance and on big scales

Hi friends, from Aug 4th onwards iam getting spikes for analog inputs in our DCS for a period of 800ms. I throughly checked every thing, finally i found that the DI, DO's from MCC panels shields are terminated in the Signal Earth where Analog Input signals shields are terminated. Is there any problem with this type of termination?. i checked the induction voltage from MCC and getting around 25VAC, please suggest me in this concern. Our plant is 8months old only. DCS is Siemens Make Simatic PCS7, and the transmitters are Yokogawa make.

A DP transmitter is used to measure the level of an open tank. The drain line of the tank is connected to a control valve, and is configured as, if the level of the tank is 90% the valve should get open 10%. And if the tank level is 10%, the valve should get open 90%. Draw wiring diagram and explain how to configure DP transmitter and control valve using HART communicator. If the span error at output is 1%, what will be the %opening of the control valve at 60% level of the tank?
