PLC/DCS System
The majority of process plants today have both DCSs and PLCs installed for controls. The DCSs generally control and manage the core processes (food, pharmaceutical, refining, etc.). PLCs are used to control non-core process functions including material handling, water treatment, motor controls, balance of plant operations, air compressor controls, packaging, and other functions. There are plants where PLCs or DCSs control all of the plant functions but at this point these are the exceptions.
