Distributed Control Systems (DCS) Course - Call us on +44 (0) 1443 223544 or Contact Us - 5 Days

These courses are designed for delivery to organisations (worldwide).

Introduction

The tighter control offered by a well installed, commissioned distributed control system is without doubt one of the main factors contributing to an improved product. Graphs and trends inform us when a product is going off specification.

It also assists with maintenance problems acting as maintenance manager in some cases. This is the “excellence end of plant control, being able to carry out many functions, it warns the operator and maintenance team well before a system is about to fail completely.

The two architectures of DCS are illustrated, the computer PLC architecture and the smart field instrument version. The advantages and disadvantages of each are a strong topic of this course.
