This document discusses distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. It provides definitions and descriptions of key components of DCS, including distributed controllers and networks to connect controllers throughout a system. The differences between DCS and SCADA are described as often subtle, with overlapping functionality due to technology advances. Common tasks in SCADA systems are also outlined, including data acquisition, processing, monitoring, control, and reporting. Popular SCADA software packages from major automation companies are listed.

The entire system of controllers is connected by networks for communication and monitoring. DCS is a very broad term used in a variety of industries, to monitor and control distributed equipment.
3 DCS The elements of a DCS may connect directly to physical equipment such as switches, pumps and valves and to HMI via SCADA. The differences between a DCS and SCADA is often subtle, especially with advances in technology allowing the functionality of each to overlap

Alarm task This manages all alarms by detecting digital alarm points and comparing the values of analog alarm points to alarm thresholds. Trends task The trends task collects data to be monitored over time. Reports task Reports are produced from plant data. These reports can be periodic, event triggered or activated by the operator. Display task This manages all data to be monitored by the operator and all control actions requested by the operator.
