Distributed Control in Factory Automation

Подробнее о видео

Distributed control is a design principle consisting of modular, self-contained control elements over the plant or control area. It differs from centralized control where a single controller at a central location handles all control functions.

In this video, we investigate the advantages of a distributed control architecture, review an example from the weighing industry, and discuss the difference between a DCS and Distributed Control.
