  1. Plant Control Systems Industrial Resources, Inc. Power System Training

  2. In this module we will: • Describe the typical Distributed Control System capabilities. • Describe how power plant processes are accessed and controlled from the DCS controllers. • Describe how DCS control system diagrams are used to interpret control system loops. • Describe basic Unit loading and control features. This presentation is designed to provide you the information you need to understand and operate the Distributed Control System. You should view all slides and read and study the information presented.
