what is the difference between SCADA and DCS?

Answer Posted / 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.
