DCS control system is the more commonly used industrial control system, also known as decentralized control system. It is characterized by a large system of many small systems that need to be controlled in groups for control, can be controlled independently of each other, so that even if one of the system failure will not affect the normal use and operation of other sub-systems, so the security is very high, and maintenance is also very convenient. It can be said that the current in-depth development of Internet technology is mainly the result of the wide application of DCS technology, but also the basis of the future of artificial intelligence technology.
DCS control system plays a vital role in the process of industrial automation, and its role mainly includes the following aspects:
Real-time monitoring: DCS control system can monitor various parameters in the industrial process in real time, such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, flow rate and so on. The real-time collection and analysis of these data can help manufacturers find abnormalities in the industrial process in a timely manner, and make appropriate treatment and adjustment to the abnormalities.
Fine control: DCS control system can carry out fine control of industrial processes to ensure the stability and efficiency of the production process. Through the DCS control system, manufacturers can realize the automation control of industrial processes, such as automated regulation, automated measurement, automated operation.
Data analysis: DCS control system can analyze all kinds of data collected in the industrial process in order to improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, optimize the production process and so on. Through the analysis of data, manufacturers can discover problems in the production process in time, optimize the production process, and predict future production needs based on the data.
Safety and security: DCS control system can help manufacturers to realize the safety and security of industrial processes, such as preventing accidents and reducing production risks.
Monitor the production process: DCS control system monitors various parameters in the production process in real time through various sensors, such as temperature, pressure, liquid level, flow rate, etc., and transmits the monitoring data to the controller for processing and analysis.
Control the production process: DCS control system generates the corresponding control instructions according to the pre-set control strategy and sends the control instructions to the actuator to control various equipments in the industrial process, such as valves, pumps, motors and so on, so as to realize the automatic control of the production process.
Improve production efficiency: DCS control system can quickly and accurately identify problems and abnormalities in the production process through automated control and real-time monitoring, so as to take timely measures to make adjustments and improve production efficiency and product quality.
Reduce production costs: DCS control system can optimize energy consumption and equipment utilization in the production process, reduce production costs and improve economic efficiency.
Simplify operation and maintenance management: DCS control system can realize remote monitoring and operation of industrial production process through remote access and control, which greatly simplifies the difficulty and cost of operation and maintenance management.
DCS system features:
Reliability DCS systems are basically designed with redundancy. Redundancy means that the important equipment, CPU and various modules of the system are designed in the form of one use and one backup. When a CPU or module fails, the backup device will work immediately, or you can choose to work both at the same time to reduce the system paralysis caused by the failure of key equipment.
The open system adopts, and, the open platform, systemization, modularization and standardization. All interconnected computer systems can be centrally interconnected and mutually accessible through communication methods such as Ethernet. When the need to increase or decrease the system, you can directly increase or decrease the module of the system, more convenient system design and maintenance.
In general, the role of DCS control system is to integrate various production equipment, sensors, actuators, etc. into a complete automation control system to realize comprehensive monitoring and automation control of the production process, improve production efficiency and quality, reduce costs, enhance safety and environmental protection, and provide strong support for the development of enterprises.
