Answer / jeevana manickam
DCS- means Distribured Control systemm.This is mainly
process oriented system.If we ask the feedbeck from the
system,it will give from the IO field.This is a independent
control systen.
SCADA-means supervisory control and data acquisition
system.This is basically a data gathering system and given
the control based on that datas. This system will depends
PLC or DCS for its control.

Answer / praveen kumar
SCADA is basically Remote area used, and its only data
gathering system and this system will depends on DCS for
controlling.
DCS is independent system, and this system will get
feedback and controlling also, SCADA can be added in DCS.

Answer / khaled
DCS is a system distributed geographically and functionally
within the process areas. It can view and control the
porcess based on information received from process field
instrumentations and can do controlling through the human
machine interface or through logic built in the DCS
controllers.
SCADA, it is mainly a system in which the main controller
exist in the control room (master terminal unit) and
communicating with remote units (remote terminal units)
which gathering information from field
instrumentations.This system also can do controlling
through logic built in the main controller

Answer / asif iqbal
Traditionally, DCSs were large, expensive and very complex
systems that were considered as a control solution for the
continuous or batch process industries. In large systems
this is, in principle, still true today, with engineers
usually opting for PLCs and HMIs or SCADA for smaller
applications, in order to keep costs down.
A correctly designed DCS control system is essential for
the safe and efficient operation of a process plant.
Process Technical Services can provide qualified and
experienced instrument and control system engineers and
technicians that will review the P&I diagrams in detail to
determine if the DCS control system will meet the needs of
your operations.
SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems
which provide automation control over large industrial and
commercial operations providing real-time data transmission
by telemetry from remote location sensors for processing
and analysis resulting in a feedback loop for computerized
control over system operations

Answer / www.islamqa.com
# SCADA always consdered for monitoring and coordination,
but no control.
# DCS for monitoring and control.
# but now with great progress in technology, networking H/W
and telecommunication SCADA is now used in control also and
so the difference between the 2 systems will fade.
