distributed control system

Fred Gjoertz

Dear Bharani,

there are plenty of varieties of DCS systems. However, most of them rely on multiple PLCs doing the control tasks and some separate hardware running the HMI. The PLCs may communicate with different units to be controlled via different interfaces, some being standardized, some less standard.

If you want to know about a truly distributed control system, check out our development environment and middleware package for DCS realized on Industry PCs here: http://www.icd.no

Our approach is different from all other vendors, and support Modbus, Canbus, Serial, Ethernet and EthernetUDP communication interfaces.

Hope this helps.

Fred.
