Distributed individual automatic controllers are connected to field devices such as sensors and actuators. These controllers ensure the sharing of gathered data to other hierarchal controllers via different field buses. Different field buses or standard communication protocols are used for establishing the communication between the controllers. Some of these include Profibus, HART, arc net, Modbus, etc. DCS is most suited for large-scale processing or manufacturing plants wherein a large number of continuous control loops are to be monitored and controlled. The main advantage of dividing control tasks for distributed controllers is that if any part of DCS fails, the plant can continue to operate irrespective of failed section. In Stellar Automation we assemble, the same using different of components of this system like Controller, I/O modules, HMI from manufacturers, and auxiliary devices from reputed international and Indian manufacturers.
In a DCS control system, data acquisition and control functions are supported through a number of DCS controllers which are microprocessor-based units distributed functionally and geographically over the plant and are situated near areas where control or data gathering functions are being performed as shown in the figure. These controllers are able to communicate among themselves and also with other controllers like supervisory terminals, operator terminals, historians, etc. In Stellar Automation we assemble, the same using different components of this system like Controller, I/O modules, HMI from manufacturers, and auxiliary devices from reputed international and Indian manufacturers covering the following scope
