MOTION CONTROL AT THE SPEED OF TECHNOLOGY™
Wago Distributed Control Systems
A Distributed Control System (DCS) is a control system for a process where the individual control elements are not localized. The system is made up of several control elements organized into a hierarchy which are all connected to a central communication system for monitoring and control.
When building a DCS system, it is important to consider all aspects of the system, from the I/O to the PLC and the supervisory HMI. Distributed control systems often use a central PLC connected by network cables to nodes which contain I/O devices such as: fieldbus couplers, I/O slices (usually input/output, or digital/analog), and terminal blocks.
A Fieldbus is an industrial computer network system used for real-time distributed control of industrial machines. Programmable Fieldbus Controllers are typically used to connect multiple devices within a manufacturing plant. The four basic fieldbus networks are: sensor bus networks, device bus networks, control bus networks and enterprise bus networks. Fieldbus networks allow for daisy-chain, star, ring, branch, and tree network topologies.
As a distributed control systems supplier, Electromate supplies a full family of Fieldbus Programmable Controllers, I/O Systems, Interface Electronics, and Electrical Interconnect Products from WAGO. WAGO DCS products offer security, dependability, high quality performance and versatility.
They can be used in a variety of applications and industries. Production lines are a common application since fieldbus DCS products can connect a variety of input and output devices. Instead of hardwiring each individual device in a production line to one machine, a fieldbus DCS connects all of the product line devices together by running one connection the length of the entire machine.
