DCS example

dont anybody want to help me, is it so difficult or you dont want to help, at least reply to this message,

I understand your frustration, but having nothing to contribute, I didn't respond. Maybe you can enlighten me. What do MSC and dcs mean?

Here is a PDF of a Milkshake plant - note ot contains much more than the a P&ID

You could also download ControlDraw - this includes several models of plants.

Distributed control system

DCS can occur in a single machine...say direct PLC control of heaters via PID loops with setpoint instructions to motor/servo drives

The individual motor/servo drives are relied on to control speed via tacho feedback - thus 'distributed' control

Communications may occur between components of a machine, or between several machines, the important point being that seperate control systems are doing the communicating

As far as diagrams - I too have nothing to contribute...I'd have to make one up...and I would think a Masters student should have more time to do that than I

Ah! MSc.

I know the paradigm. There was not enough context to lead me to the acronym. Thanks.

Use YOUR head

It would be nice if someone else did the work for you -- no?

If you cannot rationalise where and how to find this information -- you shouldn't be doing a MSc in anything apart from in being a lazy bastard
