What's the difference between #PLC #SCADA & #DCS?

A PLC, Programmable Logic Controller, reads inputs, executes logic, and writes to outputs.

A SCADA, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition connects to a group of PLC's and provides remote monitoring, control, and alarming.

A DCS, distributed control system, has both SCADA and PLC functionality. The PLCs are sometimes called RIO or RTU units often run proprietary or application-specific code, such as a rolling mill DCS.

SCADA can then connect to a DCS using drivers such as Kepware Technologies to integrate the DCS system with other applications across your plant/enterprise.

Hope this answers your question!
