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.
