DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM

 Distributed control system is a specially designed control system used
to control complex, Large and geographically distributed applications in
industrial processes in this, controllers are distributed throughout the
entire plant area.

 Example scenarios where a DCS might be used include

 Chemical plants
 Petrochemical(oil) and refineries
 Pulp and Paper mills
 Nuclear power plants
 Environment control systems

 Field devices
Field devices control local operations such as opening
and closing valves ,breakers Collecting data from
sensor systems and monitoring the local environment
for alarm conditions.
 Input/Output modules
I/O modules are building blocks of industrial control
system used in end equipments Such as PLC, PAC,
DCS. Digital input modules measure and capture digital
input signals From a wide variety of sensors like
proximity switches, limit switches.

 Controllers
A controller is a comparative device that receives an
input signal from a measured process Variable,
compares this value with that of a predetermined control
point value(set point),and determines the appropriate
amount of output signal required by the final control
element to provide corrective actions within a control
loop.
 Human machine interface
The user interface (UI),in the industrial design field of
human-machine interaction, is the space where

interactions between humans and machines occur.

 Control Engineering
Control engineering is the engineering discipline
that applies control theory to design Systems with
desired behaviours. The practice uses sensors to
measure the output Performance of the device.

 Conclusions
 The aim of this is to demonstrate how best to integrate
advanced automation engineering, “one of the major
engineering sciences”, into industrial reality, by use of
some concrete examples of complex systems.

 Of these systems, we can cite the cryogenic systems or

physical gas systems at CERN, the thermal or stone-
producing systems for applications developed at
Schneider Electric, for mechanical-hydraulic systems for
a manufacturer of excavator-loaders and automobile
vehicles.
