Differentiate between PLC, SCADA and DCS systems
Answer / kush rao
SCADA
A SCADA (or supervisory control and data acquisition) system. It consists of many remote terminals units for collection of data (field),that is being connected with master station through any communication system, having main task of collection of accurate data and controlling of process for smooth operation.
DCS
It stands for distributed Control System, controlling is performed by embedded system (Microcontroller based or Microprocessor based controlling unit for device or instruments from which data is to be collect. It provides very intelligent analog control capability. It is very sensitive for HMI (Human machine Interface) for easy and smooth control of process.
PLC
It stands for Programmable Logic controller, having get this name from the fact that it replace the relay logic at the initial stage then it get the capability for analog channels also for display then it get the ability for close loop control and after some time it has the ability for redundant operation, and also its HMI having the ability for Indicatiion,controlling,data logging ,Alarming and backup data facility. It is also defined as below:
“A digitally operating electronic apparatus which uses a programmable memory for the internal storage of instructions for implementing specific functions, such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic, to control through digital or analog input/output, various types of machines or process.”

Why we use the remote seal transmitters
A DP Endress and Hauser flow transmitter is always tripping pump at low flow. set point is 74 cubic meter/hr. Thorough impulse line flushing and zero calibration has been done, yet problem persists. What do you think is the problem and how do you rectify this fault?
what are the programming languages used in dcs
few questions on RS 232,1 question on relationship of impedance and turns ratio, many questions on flowmeters
what happen if i install my pressure transmitter below the elevation of pipe in natural gas service. Also support your answer
Can anyone send most commonley asked Instrumentation questions and answers in cement industry please?
Explain the difference between differial pressure & delta pressure?
why can't we use 5-20mA standard or some other instead of 4- 20mA?
Describe the typical instrumentation used in monitoring the performance of a shell and tube heat exchanger.
1,why we use 4-20 ma output of all instrument qhy not use 0- 20, 2,what is the different between PLC & DCS. 3,how can we meaure maximum span of new flowmeter if not given any information.
