Distributed control system

Distributed control system

Distributed control system

(OP)
I'm a recently qualied engineering graduate. I quite knowledgeable with plc's but would want to move into the world of DCS. Where can i start...i've been searching for example programs on the net but couldn't find any.Have seen a little bit of the deltaV on the emmerson site.

RE: Distributed control system

Look into IEC 61499 more and more PLC manufacturers will be moving towards using this standartd, knowing about it will therefore be a valuable skill in a few years

RE: Distributed control system

Check out Foxboro's I/A system: it's getting a little long in the tooth in my opinion but a very capable system in its day and still good by modern standards. Also don't overlook Emerson's Ovation platform: Emerson are in the odd position of having two very good DCS platforms, one aimed at process & petrochem and the other at power generation. Ovation is very powerful, and has a first class engineering staff in Pittsburgh and Warsaw.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!
