What is a DCS
A distributed control system (DCS) refers to a decentralized
control system in which the controller elements are not central

Vnet/IP
The Vnet/IP is a real-time process control network used to connect
system components.
1. Control-bus communications (Bus 1/Bus 2)
Read/Write, message communication
2. Open communications (Bus 2: 300 Mbps)
For connection with commercially available Ethernet devices.
The Vnet/IP is always dual-redundant.
Vnet/FO Conversion

Optic
conversion is
done to

Question????????
machine control while the distributed control system (DCS) dominates process control.
Today, the two technologies share kingdoms as the functional lines between them continue
to blur. We now use each where the other used to rule. However, PLCs still dominate highspeed machine control, and DCSs prevail in complex continuous processes.
DCSs performed hundreds of analog measurements and controlled dozens of analog
outputs, using multi-variable Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control. With the same
8-bit microprocessor technology that gave rise to the DCS, PLCs began replacing
conventional relay/solid-state logic in machine control. PLCs dealt with contact
input/output (I/O) and started/stopped motors by performing Boolean logic calculations.
When PLCs were solely replacements for hard-wired relays, they had only digital I/O, PLCs
now have many DCS-like control functions (e.g., PID algorithms) and analog I/O.
Since the PLC was integrated with Analog I/O it crosses the boundary of being just digital
and crosses to the realm of DCS in handling Analogs, Bus Systems, Distributed I/O and etc.
Also, since the DCS now handles logics of Digital I/O it also crossed the boundary to the
realm of PLC.
However PLCs are still faster, these were used for small system or a machine, Digital I/Os
and DCS was used for Analog I/Os.
