Understanding DCS Power Supply Requirements (UPS & Non-UPS)
Understanding DCS Power Supply Requirements (UPS & Non-UPS) A Distributed Control System (DCS) acts as the central nervous system for many critical industrial processes, from oil and gas refineries to power generation plants and chemical processing facilities. These sophisticated systems rely on a network of controllers, sensors, actuators, and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) working in concert […]
Controlling Output Devices: Understanding DCS Output Modules
Controlling Output Devices: Understanding DCS Output Modules In the intricate world of industrial automation, precision control is paramount. At the heart of this control lies the Distributed Control System (DCS), a powerful platform that orchestrates complex manufacturing and processing operations. While the “brains” of the DCS are the controllers, the “hands” are the output modules. […]
What is MMSCFD? A Complete Guide to Natural Gas Flow Rate
MMSCFD, or Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day, is a unit of measurement used to quantify the flow rate of natural gas. It’s widely used in the oil and gas industry because it provides a standardized, reliable, and universally understood metric for measuring large volumes of gas. The “standard” part of the term is crucial, […]
