why the SCAN time of DCS is more & that of PLC is less?
if the SCAN time of DCS then why we use DCS.

Answer Posted / kyle condran

DCS are not PC based. the configuration and operating software are but the actual control happens in a control module. DCS usually have a fixed scan time 50ms+, but not always, regardless of I/O count or program size.

PLC scan time depends on Program size and I/O used in the program.
