A distributed control system (DCS) like plc but the controller elements are not central in location (like the brain) but are distributed throughout the system with each component sub-system controlled by one or more controllers. The entire system of controllers is connected by networks for communication and monitoring.

DCS means distributed control system. Means control is distributed rather than in a centralised system. That means individual process unit have a control system with specified controllers and logics  and this will be communicated with DCS of other units through communication network . In short each unit have separate control rather than under a single platform. Means even if one system of unit fails other unit will not be disturbed without affecting the production.

A distributed control system (DCS) is a control system for a process or plant, wherein control elements are distributed throughout the system. This is in contrast to non-distributed systems, which use a single controller at a central location. In a DCS, a hierarchy of controllers is connected by communications networks for command and monitoring

DCS refer to distributed control system which composed of two or more programmable controller PLC connected to a network and have a redundant of i/o units to control a continuous process with non-stop behavior ,

 

we use DCS to maintain controlling and monitoring of specific process when if we have any fault in any PLC station.
