1. PLC programmable logic controller (programmable controller).
2. DCS system pays more attention to the field of process control. Such as chemical, smelting, pharmaceutical, etc. It mainly monitors and controls some field parameters, while PLC focuses on logic control. machining). Of course, the process control problem of the PLC can also be handled very well now, but it is not as specialized as the DCS system.
3. If the analog quantity is greater than one point, the DCS system is generally adopted. If the analog quantity is within a point, PLC is generally used.
4. DCS system is a kind of distributed control system PLC, it is just a control device, the two are the difference between the system and the device. The system can realize the function and coordination of any equipment, while the PLC device only realizes the function of this unit.
5. The DCS system network is the nervous system of the whole system, and the DCS system usually adopts the standard TCP/IP protocol. It is a double-redundant high-speed communication network with better scalability and openness. Since PLC is basically suitable for a single small system, when communicating with other PLCs or host computers, the network form adopted is basically a single network structure, and the network protocol often does not meet the standard.
6. All I/O modules of the DCS system are equipped with a CPU, which can realize the qualitative judgment and scalar transformation of the collected and output signals, and can be electrically pulled out and randomly replaced for faults. The PLC module is just a simple electrical conversion element, there is no smart chip, and in the event of a failure, all the corresponding units will be paralyzed.

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)

Hollysys DCS - the selection, design and debugging of DCS system
1. The configuration of the system and controller should focus on reliability and load rate (including redundancy). The communication load rate must be controlled within a reasonable range, and the load rate of the controller must be balanced as much as possible to avoid the occurrence of "high load" problems.
2. The distribution of system control logic should not be too much.
