FAQ
Q DCS vs PLC?
A
DCS for continuous processes, rich engineering, thousands to tens of thousands IO; PLC discrete, fast scan, smaller IO. Hybrid architectures (PLC for SIS + DCS for BPCS) are common.
Q NAMUR NE43?
A
Convention for process instrument fault signaling (4-20 mA < 3.6 mA / > 21 mA = fault); modern transmitters and DCS input cards are compatible.
Q Batch ISA-88 / IEC 61512?
A
Batch control standard — recipes, units, phases; mandatory in pharma and fine chemistry.
