Distributed Control System (DCS) Architecture: The hierarchical organization of control systems into multiple levels—field, control, supervisory, and operator interface—that work together to manage industrial processes.
Control Level: The layer where controllers execute real-time control algorithms and communicate directly with field devices such as sensors and actuators.
Supervisory Level: The layer responsible for data aggregation, alarming, and storing historical data, overseeing the control processes without direct interaction with field devices.
Field Level: The lowest layer consisting of field devices like sensors and actuators that gather data from and send commands to the physical process.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI): The interface that provides operators with visualization and control capabilities over the process, enabling interaction with the system's data and controls.
1. What does the hierarchical organization of DCS architecture levels primarily involve?
2. How do the communication protocols Modbus, Profibus, and Ethernet/IP primarily differ from each other?
3. What is a key characteristic that differentiates a Distributed Control System (DCS) from PLC and SCADA systems?
