Instrumentation and Control Systems in Chemical Engineering

The Development of Process Control Instruments and Control Systems Has Gone Through Four Stages:1. In the 1950s, pneumatic unit combined instruments were the main focus. 2. In the 1960s, the emergence of electronic components like transistors allowed for the development and application of electric unit combined instruments (DDZⅡ). 3. In the 1970s, safety spark explosion-proof … Read more

The Ten Key Differences Between PLC and DCS

The Ten Key Differences Between PLC and DCS

When it comes to control systems, many people seem to speak with great confidence, but when delving deeper, they become speechless about the definitions of controllers, PLCs, DCS, and FCS. After a brief introduction to the basic concepts, it feels like the conversation misses the point. Today, let’s discuss what DCS is. First, we can … Read more

Vulnerability Analysis of Industrial Distributed Control Systems

Vulnerability Analysis of Industrial Distributed Control Systems

As one of the types of industrial control systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are widely used to control critical infrastructure, distributed in the oil, chemical, metallurgy, cement, and water systems, serving as the “brain” for process operators. Their importance is self-evident. In the mid-1970s, decentralized control systems based on microprocessors emerged. After more than 30 … Read more
