Distributed Control Systems, Process Automation Manufacturers

Distributed Control System refers to a control system of a manufacturing system, process or any kind of dynamic system. A distributed control system uses computers as controllers and use both proprietary interconnections & protocols for communication. Distributed control systems are used in industrial, electrical, computer and instrumentation & control engineering applications to monitor and control distributed equipment with or without remote human intervention. Distributed control systems are dedicated systems used to control manufacturing processes that are continuous or batch-oriented, such as oil refining, petrochemicals, central station power generation, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage manufacturing, cement production, steelmaking and papermaking. Distributed control systems are connected to sensors & actuators and use set point control to control the flow of material through the plant.
