Collection: PLC & DCS

A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is a rugged digital computer used for automating discrete processes, such as controlling machinery on production lines. It offers flexibility, scalability, and ease of programming, making it ideal for industrial applications requiring on/off control. In contrast, a DCS (Distributed Control System) is designed for continuous, complex process control, commonly used in industries like power generation or chemical processing. A DCS distributes control across multiple controllers, providing real-time monitoring and enhanced fault tolerance. While PLCs are suited for smaller, specific tasks, DCS systems manage larger, more intricate processes, ensuring precise and efficient operations across an entire plant.
