DCS is the English abbreviation of distributed control system (Distributed Control System), distributed control system is referred to as DCS, which can also be literally translated as "distributed control system" or "distributed computer control system". The distributed control system is a new generation of instrument control system based on microprocessor, which adopts the design principles of decentralized control functions, centralized display operation, autonomy and comprehensive coordination.
DCS usually adopts a hierarchical and progressive structure, each level is composed of several subsystems, and each subsystem achieves a number of specific finite goals, forming a pyramid structure.
Reliability is the life of DCS development, and there are three main measures to ensure the high reliability of DCS: first, the wide application of high-reliability hardware equipment and production processes; the second is the extensive use of redundancy technology; The third is to widely realize the fault tolerance technology, fault self-diagnosis and automatic processing technology of the system in software design. Most of today's distributed control systems have tens or even hundreds of thousands of hours of MTBF.
DCS adopts the basic design concept of decentralized control, centralized operation and management, and adopts a multi-layered hierarchical and cooperative autonomous structure. Its main feature is its centralized management and decentralized control. DCS has been widely used in various industries such as electric power, metallurgy, and petrochemical.

Hollys PLC - when the power supply is stable, what will cause the PLC to automatically restart?
1. The connection line is loose and the contact is poor
When the run indicator of the PLC turns red, the position of the plug changes to green with a manual move, indicating that the plug is loose, and it is best to replace the new connecting wire, and the plug is frequently plugged and unplugged, which will also lead to poor contact.
2. Strong electrical interference (external)
