Instrumentation Questions.

I have worked on Honeywell DCS systems for oil and gas facilities. Some key differences between PLC and DCS are: - PLCs are better for discrete and simple logic control, while DCS systems can handle more complex continuous processes. - DCS systems are designed for process control in industries like oil/gas, chemical, power where processes are continuous, inter-connected and run 24/7. They are more robust, scalable and support advanced control functions. - PLCs generally control individual machines or cells, while a DCS provides centralized control of an entire process from field devices to business systems. So in summary, DCS systems provide integrated supervisory control and data acquisition across large
