WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DCS & PLC.
Answer Posted / www.islamqa.com
# 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.

I was working on calibrating turbidity transmitters endress+hauser at effluent polishing plant.We calibrated using NTU buffers.What happened is that when we immersed the sensor, everytime we raise and lower the sensor gradually, the reading will vary.my question is that is there any specifications on what is the required distance from the bottom of the container with buffer to the face of the sensor?Is it ok to install the sensor in a medium which has turbulence specially if bubbles are present?
