Configuration maintenance functions include logical configuration, download and modification, operation debugging, remote diagnosis, etc. In the early days, PLC was mainly based on ladder diagrams, while DCS was mainly based on module function diagrams. After years of development, the International Electrotechnical Commission has established five programming languages through the IEC1131-3 standard. Currently, mainstream DCS and PLC all comply with this standard and support several or all of these programming languages. From the perspective of development efficiency and program readability, module function diagrams and sequential function diagrams are increasingly becoming the main programming methods, while trapezoidal logic and structured text have become development tools for custom modules. Large PLCs are becoming more and more like DCS in terms of configuration, and the gap is gradually narrowing, while small PLCs still rely mainly on ladder diagrams.

After years of development, DCS has accumulated a large number of advanced algorithm modules. For example, the device level module of NT6000 centrally completes the basic control and fault alarm functions for devices in one module, and is also transmitted as a unit in network communication, greatly improving the efficiency of software development. A device pole module is equivalent to a ladder diagram logic quantity of 0.5K, and it is much more cumbersome for a PLC to complete the same function.

PLC lacks solutions in terms of downloading, modifying, running debugging, and remote diagnosis. And DCS was designed from the perspective of system needs from the beginning, with years of accumulated and comprehensive solutions. Taking NT6000DCS as an example, the system can modify control strategies online or download control strategies online. During the modification and download process, there is no impact on the normal operation of the system. NT6000DCS has comprehensive virtual DCS functions, which can not only be used for verifying configuration logic, but also be built into a complete virtual DCS connected to the model to complete system simulation and debugging. NT6000DCS has comprehensive security measures and provides remote debugging solutions based on wide area networks.

The hardware packaging structure of PLC is generally a large bottom layout rack with enclosed I/O modules. The enclosed structure is beneficial for improving the reliability of I/O modules, and is resistant to radio frequency, static electricity, and damage. There are 8, 16, and 32 I/O points for PLC modules. The majority of DCS is a 19 inch standard chassis with plug-in I/O modules, which are exposed structures. There are 8 and 16 I/O points per module, and 32 point modules are rarely used.
