Distributed Control System
Marketing competition forces modern enterprise to expand production-scale for economies of scale. This trend stimulate the demand of automation.
With the development of environment care and product quality, the production scale of the modern enterprise becoming bigger and bigger, it is higher requirements for automation. In order to expand production scale, strengthen production management, increase quality of product, reduce production cost, more and more enterprises like to adopt automated control system.
The control core of the DCS developed by FOREVER is a new controller based on field bus-mastering. The retractility of size of control system composed of controller is strong, changing arbitrarily from few points to thousands of points. The controllers can be linked by net easy and compose the automated control system of whole enterprise, realizing the produce information shared.
Relying on the abundant experience in chemical produce technique and engineering, our DCS developed on chemical devices succeed in using on many chemical iterms.
 More details
 DCS often consists of:
       Process Controller.
        I/O unit.
        Operation station & Engineer station.
        Communication network.
        software..
Process Controller
Process controller is the core part of the automatic control system. Its main functions are:
        Process and calculate different the various signals.
        Calculate and carry out all control algorithms.
        Calculate and carry out logic functions.
        Network functions.
        Alarm message handling.
        Historical data storage & display etc.
To carry out all these functions, it must be combined with corresponding platform configuration software. Through this platform software the control functions, network, alarms, history data, etc., will be handled, configured and downloaded in the Process Controller Then the Process Controller can start its work. 
The basic requirements for the Controller are:
        Sufficiently powerful functionality
        Reliable electrical and mechanical performance.
        Open communication system.
        Attractive price.
Functionality
Necessary function in the Process Controller
      Logic interlocks
      Alarm and monitor functions
      Complex control algorithms
      Analog calculations
      On-off data calculation
      Trends, reports & statistical functions
Process controller such as AC800F series from ABB and S7-400、S7-300 series from SIEMENS are most frequently used in DCS system..
I/O unit:

Instruments transmit 4-20mA or 0-10V analog signals, and the actuator receives such analog signals. The Process Controller can only recognize and handle digital encoded signals, of binary code so signal input and output of the instrument and electrical equipment need a correspond I/O unit. The main function of the I/O unit is to convert the input signal from instrument and motors on site to digital numbers that can be recognized by Process Controller.

At the same time it must convert the digital numbers processed to the correspond electrical signal and then output this to the control actuators and motors on site .

The I/O unit must be equipped with sufficient and reliable electrical and mechanical performance in order to work in different conditions and environments.  Environments such as strong electromagnetic disturbances, high humidity & dusty environment, vibration etc. It must have such functions as self diagnostics, power handling when power goes off and on, redundancy etc.
ABB S800 series and SIEMENS S7-300 series are most frequently used in DCS system I/O units.
Operator Station and Engineering Work Station:
The Operator Station is a PC which is used for operation control, monitoring, alarms, trend displays and reporting. The operator station handles the above functions with internal software, and connects to Process Controller through the communication network.
Engineer station is a computer, which is used for process control software configuration; diagnosis; and to monitor the operation of the process control station. It is also used by the DCS maintenance engineer for configuration, testing, and DCS system maintenance. In a small application the operator station is often also serving as an engineer work station.
Communication network:
The communication net work structure of DCS is two layers:
        Process level
        Operation level.
