DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM (DCS)
A distributed control system (DCS) is a platform for automated control and operation of a plant or industrial process. A DCS combines the following into a single automated system: human machine interface (HMI), logic solvers, historian, common database, alarm management, and a common engineering suite.
The training is specifically for fresh Engineers, technologist and technicians, plant manager, supervisors as well as those with science background.
