Introduction

Process control is becoming an increasingly important engineering topic, since the subject plays a crucial role in the design, operation and maintenance in oil and gas process plants and industrial process plants.

Industrial control systems (ICS) are at the heart of industrial automation, playing a critical role in managing the operations of critical infrastructure. This Course introduces you to Distributed Control System (DCS), its general control Concept and the areas of applications in industry.  Distributed control refers to a system of digital instrumentation that is distributed geographically and also functionally. In the geographical context, a number of electronic assemblies are located in processing areas throughout a plant, wired to process-mounted sensors from which they receive information about the process conditions and also connected to process-regulating devices to which they send commands generated by programs that process the sensor-derived information.
