An alternative distributed control using Labview

The distributed process control is done through Distributed control system (DCS). DCS is a computerized control employed in the industry to monitor and control the production line. These industries include Petrochemical industries, Fertilizers manufacturing industries, oil industries, where it requires continuous monitoring and controlling. DCS is one among the Industrial Control System Technique(ICS), the other ICS techniques includes supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, distributed control system (DCS) and programmable logic controllers (PLC). The aim of the proposed project is to analyze process of Reverse osmosis plant DCS using LabVIEW. The leading companies in DCS business today are Honeywell, Rockwell, Yokogawa and Siemens. The proposed approach is the distributed control for an industrial plant using LabVIEW. The mode of operation employed in the designed VI includes AUTO MODE and MANUAL MODE. Auto mode are not user interfaced and the process takes place automatically with the assigned Manual operation. In addition to that the other two proposed approach involves the creation of Database management and Alarm management.
