Revere Control Systems has released a new white paper, "DCS Versus PLC: A User's Guide to Selecting the Most Effective Control Platform for Your Application." While distributed control systems (DCS) and programmable logic controllers (PLC) have traditionally been viewed as competing platforms, they are not necessarily mutually exclusive technologies. The white paper provides general guidelines and a comparison chart, and highlights key considerations when choosing a control system platform. The paper also addresses a hybrid system that capitalizes on the benefits of both platforms in an environment that employs multiple processes and/or equipment types.
