What are Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for Cloud?

A distributed control system (DCS) is a computerized control system for a process or plant, with autonomous controllers that are distributed throughout the system. It uses digital communication to coordinate these distributed controllers in order to achieve a common goal. DCS typically requires dedicated programming for configuration and more complex systems will include data historians, HMIs, and network components. They are generally used to provide higher levels of safety and efficiency in industrial applications.
