One of the most common questions in industrial control and automation systems is “What’s the difference between a PLC and a DCS?” To fully understand the difference between these two systems, we must look at the history of programmable logic controllers (PLCS) and distributed control systems (DCS) and break down their internal components.

The main difference between a PLC and a DCS is that a PLC controls a single machine, while a DCS controls multiple machines in a factory or workshop. However, this is only a basic explanation. Let’s dig a little deeper and examine the lesser-known important differences.
