Specialized Course on DCS (Distributed Control Systems)

Introduction

A Distributed Control System (DCS) refers to a control system usually of a manufacturing system, process or any
kind of dynamic system, in which the controller elements are not central in location (like the brain) but are
distributed throughout the system with each component sub-system controlled by one or more controllers. The
entire system of controllers is connected by networks for communication and monitoring.

DCS is a very broad term used in a variety of industries, to monitor and control distributed equipment
