WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLC AND DCS

Answer Posted / p.c.mohanty.

Now a days there is no difference between PLC & DCS
PLC can perform every task as DCS or vice versa. The name
DCS or PLC depends on the system supplier as per
requirement of the customer . I feel it is better to call
the above systems as process automation system or process
control system in stead of PLC or DCS

thanks.

PCM
