Distributed control is a design principle consisting of modular, self-contained control elements over the plant or control area. It differs from centralized control where a single controller at a central location handles all control functions. In this video, we investigate the advantages of a distributed control architecture, review an example from the weighing industry, and discuss the difference between a DCS and Distributed Control.

IND360rateControl provides all you need to control a loss-in-weight feeding system. Connect the motor, pump, or valve to IND360 using 4–20 mA, 0–10V, or 0–5V. The IND360 manages all functions needed for setup and control, reporting runtime parameters back to your PLC, which acts as a supervisory control system.
The domain-specific, pre-programmed applications help you get started right away, eliminating the hassle of developing custom control algorithms. Applications allow optimal control of weight-based applications by moving control closer to the measurement. This allows for more efficient resource loading of the automation system to perform other non-weight-based control operations. In this distributed control architecture, the PLC serves as the supervisory control, monitoring runtime data and sending new configuration data. The IND360, with the built-in application and its local I/O, acts as a controller to simplify wiring and manage reaction times, which are crucial for applications requiring fast responses.
