Phase 4: CPU selection and Control System Architecture In this article we discuss how to select the CPU and describe the main options for the Control System Architecture (index of design phases). 4-CPU selection and design of Control System Architecture The selection of CPU and PLC / PAC model depends directly on several parameters. Some …
Technical Specification – Design Phases of the Control System This is the first article in this series where we try to describe the different design phases of a control system. In PLC-based systems the design engineer must analyze all the technical requirements and make the design that meets the specifications with the lowest possible cost. …
PLC vs DCS – What solution to choose? When we want to integrate several software applications, use advanced control algorithms and have future expansion plans, the PLC / SCADA solution may not be adequate. Currently the differences between both solutions have decreased, but they are still important, especially in systems with more than 500 I …
