Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are the backbone of process industries, oil refineries, chemical plants, power stations, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

DCS vs PLC

While PLCs excel at discrete manufacturing (assembly lines, packaging), DCS platforms are designed for continuous process control (temperature, pressure, flow, level). Modern lines are blurring as PLCs gain process capabilities and DCS platforms add discrete features.

Major DCS Platforms

-Honeywell Experion PKS
-ABB Ability Symphony Plus
-Siemens PCS 7 / PCS neo
-Emerson DeltaV
-Yokogawa CENTUM VP

EDWartens DCS training prepares engineers for high-value process industry roles where salaries are typically 30-50% higher than discrete automation.
