Distributed Control Systems in Power
A distributed control system in a power plant coordinates process control across connected controllers, field interfaces and operator systems.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Boiler, turbine, auxiliary and electrical interfaces impose different control and timing requirements. Redundancy and alarm handling contribute to operational availability.
Existing field devices, control libraries and plant procedures shape a migration project. Integration work extends beyond replacing controller cabinets.
What turns activity into demand
Demand follows new plant scope, modernisation decisions and the accepted control architecture. Control hardware, software licences, engineering and long-term support are distinct deliverables within a DCS project.
The commercial boundary
