Distributed control system (DCS) is a platform for automated control and operation of a plant or industrial process. A DCS combines the following into a single automated system: human machine interface (HMI), logic solvers, historian, common database, alarm management, and a common engineering suite. Stand Alone Process Plants depend DCS to deliver their production goals.

• Architecture of DCS
• Yokogawa Centum CS 3000
• Comparison of PLC with DCS
• Programming languages for DCS
• Different types of cards and their Functions

Features of Our Design

• A wide variety of communication interfaces and digital field networks are used and include Foundation fieldbus, Profibus-DP, Modbus RTU, Modbus CP/IP, and DeviceNet.
• Improves the stability of process control. Each processor module has redundant CPUs that execute the same computations simultaneously.
• Application of N-IO (Network I/O) to reduce footprint, lower marshalling costs and allow flexible I/O binding.
• The same N-IO baseplate supports both single and dual redundant formations, eliminating the need for multiple hardware/software vendors when implementing redundancy.
• Environmental resistance: Class G3 corrosive gas and a wide range of operating temperatures

Hazardous area classification: Type N and non-incendive protection provided as standard. I/O modules with a built-in intrinsic safety barrier available
