# PLC is first invented and developed to be used with
discrete - on/off control & with small scale applications.
# DCS is designed and fabricated to handle modulating/PID
control applications & to serve in large scale I/Os
applications.
# with great progress and achievements in plc h/w and
networking technologies we have PID algorithms with PLC and
also plc become able to handle wide range of I/O'S like
DCS, actually with good engineering the one can build his
own DCS with multible PLCs.
# But actually with great engineering to build the DCS from
multible PLCs it will not be the same as pre-built/ready to
use DCS system in its functionality and its features.
# DCS is pre-fabricated system with compatible, integrated,
and tested H/W & S/W - has the following features:
- data collection & management.
- event and history management.
- instrument management.
- alarms management.
- smart and self diagnostics.
- advanced control strategy and easy to build, configure
control loops.
- redundancy.

Answer / dibyendu
the scan time for plc is much lesser than dcs and plc can
hanhle digital signal more efficiently,dcs can handle analog
signal more efficiently.

Answer / joe mccabe
A lot of IO..specifically for a larger operation where there
are is lot of PID control, taking in analog inputs and
controlling outputs.

Answer / hari
DCS can handle 32 loops can be handle in single shot.
but plc can perform less than DCS..
DCS had faster scaning time.
plc can handle 6 loop in single shot
DCS can be programmed like FBD

Answer / anil
In DCS Scan time of each channel can be set but in PLC the
scan time is fix

Answer / alok
where lot of no. io's are used there we used dcs this basic
difference b/w dcs and plc.

The company where I am working, their is rosemount 5400 series radar type level transmitter, it is meant to show level of filled tank, but along with the level it is showing temperature also, so my question is how a onon-contact type radar type level transmitter can show temperature even if it does not have any contact with the fluid?
