DCSohjausjärjestelmä
DCSohjausjärjestelmä, often referred to as a Distributed Control System, is a computer-based system used for controlling industrial processes. These systems are typically employed in large-scale operations such as power plants, chemical factories, and manufacturing facilities. The core principle behind a DCS is the distribution of control functions across multiple controllers, which communicate with each other and with operators via a network.
A DCS consists of several key components. These include input/output (I/O) modules that interface with sensors
The primary function of a DCS is to monitor process variables like temperature, pressure, and flow, and
