What is the meaning of DCS ?

Distributed Control System. A Computer Control System that controls various digital & analog input outputs from instruments and controls on the basis of cause & effect logics implemented in DCS.

A distributed control system (DCS) like plc but the controller elements are not central in location (like the brain) but are distributed throughout the system with each component sub-system controlled by one or more controllers. The entire system of controllers is connected by networks for communication and monitoring. 

DCS means distributed control system. Means control is distributed rather than in a centralised system. That means individual process unit have a control system with specified controllers and logics  and this will be communicated with DCS of other units through communication network . In short each unit have separate control rather than under a single platform. Means even if one system of unit fails other unit will not be disturbed without affecting the production. 

DCS is an electronic device, which has large no.of IOs 

distributed control system (DCS) centralizes plant operations to provide flexibility and simplicity by allowing central control, monitoring and reporting of individual components and processes.

A distributed control system (DCS) is a control system for a process or plant, wherein control elements are distributed throughout the system. This is in contrast to non-distributed systems, which use a single controller at a central location. In a DCS, a hierarchy of controllers is connected by communications networks for command and monitoring

DCS refer to distributed control system which composed of two or more programmable controller PLC connected to a network and have a redundant of i/o units to control a continuous process with non-stop behavior ,

 

we use DCS to maintain controlling and monitoring of specific process when if we have any fault in any PLC station.  

Dcs Is a broad term used in variety of industry to control and monitor distributed systems. Dcs is a Contol Ssytem in which control elements are central in location like brain and are distributed through out the sub system in which each component of the sub system are controlled by one one or more controller

all above answer give an idea about real use and meanig of DCS thanks for all

DCS means Distributed Control System. It is a control system that has a network containing redundancy having specific number of controllers , analogue and digital I/O's , Monitoring and diagnostic system distributed all over the specified area of Control and having a common control room to monitor and Diagnose the errors either manually or mainly Automatically to achieve Safe and controlled process.
