A typical application is a PID controller fed by a flow meter and using a control valve as the final control element. The DCS sends the setpoint required by the process to the controller which instructs a valve to operate so that the process reaches and stays at the desired setpoint. (see 4–20 mA schematic for example).
IEC 61499 enables an application-centric design, in which one or more applications, defined by networks of interconnected function blocks, are created for the whole system and subsequently distributed to the available devices. All devices within a system are described within a device model.
Common applications of OTS systems are the following: New control room operator training (e.g., start-up, shutdown, and emergency procedures) Existing control room operator refresher training (e.g., start-up, shutdown, and emergency procedures) Platform for advanced process control (APC) and optimization; Validating DCS control and logic checkout
Supervisory control computers are often not hardened or fault-tolerant, but they bring a higher level of computational capability to the control system, to host valuable, but not critical, advanced control applications. Advanced controls may reside in either the DCS or the supervisory computer, depending on the application.
An industrial control system (ICS) is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control.Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems (DCSs) with many thousands of field connections.

As a general guide, applications which are controlled and monitored by programmable logic controllers (PLCs) tend towards PROFIBUS, and applications which are controlled and monitored by a digital/distributed control system (DCS) tend towards Foundation Fieldbus. PROFIBUS technology is made available through Profibus International with ...
The couple, who met through their mutual powerlifting coach, got engaged on Jan. 24 during a trip to Sheffield, England. Degier says the two had talked a lot about marriage before and both "wanted ...
