PLC have a faster logic scan (~10ms) is required to perform motor or motion control. In contrary, DCS control loops requires deterministic scan execution at a speed of 100 to 500 ms. 

If the system to designed required less no of I/Os, PLC is a better choice in terms of the lifecycle cost.

combo can do a lot of the same things a DCS does. The best approach is to list what your process needs, and see if you need enough features to justify a DCS.
