Here are a few considerable differences between the two:
  • PLCs were invented much earlier than DCS.
  • PLCs are used for electrochemical processors while DCS are used for Pneumatic/Single Loop Controls.
  • PLCs have generally fixed scan time while the scan time for DCS is adjustable.
  • PLCs are used for discrete controls and DCS are used for regulatory controls.
