Can i know the differences between distributed control system and plc

also i needto know about the various functional units in a gas based co-gen plant

Wide open question with a lot of grey area.
Basically:
A plc is told to go and it does it thing until either a predetermined set of conditions is met or somebody pulls the plug on it.
Distributed control can be made up of a group of plc's communicating to a supervisor that can cause interaction with various plc's process controllers etc.
Typically, the supervisor will "download" operating parameters to the distributed units ie set points....
The unit is then responsible for achieving that setpoint.
This is very generic. Can you be more specific?

  • In ical, how can you tell the difference between a meeting invite and email?

    When you send a meeting invite in ical, does the recipient receive a different icon in their inbox to differentiate from an email?

    For service stock you can't tell the difference between a new iPad and a refurbished one. Both will come in a plain brown box with the same pattern in model numbers. If you mean between a refurbished one and one new at retail, then other than the obvious difference in packaging, I've read that the model number on refurbished units starts with the letter "F", though I've not confirmed that.

  • I want to know the difference between iphoto master folder and previews folder

    I want to know the difference between iphoto library master folder and previews folder.. my pictures is stored in master but part of them is also copied into previews.. it occupied too much space.. if I can't change anything in iphoto library, any way to save the space for iphoto? 70G for almost 15,000 pictures, is it reasonable?
    i use mac book pro, ilife 11..

    70GB for 15,000 photos is reasonable, yes, if the photo files are large.
    DO NOT meddle with the contents of your iPhoto Library in any other way than using the commands available in the iPhoto application. What appear to be duplicate files stored in different parts of the library are NOT duplicates, and if you attempt to save space by deleting things in the Finder, you will wreck your library and land in a world of trouble.

  • Can anyone tell the difference between USB 3.0 and 2.0?

    I have both a 8GB flashdrive 3.0 and 2.0. I got the 3.0 at office depot for $8.00 and 2.0 for the same price at best buy. I honestly can't tell the difference between the two. They both seem to be the same in speed. Is there really a difference?

    This is an interesting subject, I just recalled a MacWorld podcast I was listening to when the 3.0s were first hitting the market. A guest on the podcast was saying to think of it like a 'bottle neck' not so much as speed. With the 3.0 you can push more information through at any one time. So in the case of the hd movie senario, if you had multiple movies transfering at one time the 3.0 would be a lot faster than a 2.0.

  • How can I tell the difference between a 7320 CE and a 4630 CDM ?

    Hello, I have just taken delivery of what is supposed to be a 7320 Content Engine, however, there is a slight problem, th grill at the front states that it is
    a CDM4630!!!! A look at the rear shows the same slots/config as a 7320 and
    is labeled as a ce7320. A show version states that it is a ce7320-4.2.1.
    It looks like the wrong front panel has been applied but is there a sure fire
    way of confirming this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Darren

    From your comments, I guess that the device is a CE-7320 with a front panel mismatch. You could use the data sheets that you get with the product to verify the slots and since the show version indicates that it a CE-7320, I believe it should be one. The product overview is available at:

  • From ABAP view, what is the difference between version 4.7 and ECC 6.0 ?

    Hi,
    I am a ABAP developer. I want to know the difference between version 4.7 and ECC 6.0 from a programmer
    perspective.
    I also want to know  what is obsoleted and what is enhanced.
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Chris Gu

    I'm not sure if any of this is in your 4.7 version, but I know it wasn't available in our 4.6C before we upgraded and we have found the following extremely helpful in ECC 6.0:
    1.  The new ABAP Debugger - Search SDN and you'll probably find a bunch of info on these enhancements
    2.  The Enhancement Framework - this is a great new framework allowing enhancements to standard SAP programs without having to use "core Mods".  Had we known about it prior to our upgrade, we could have probably eliminated 75% or so of our custom Z Programs which are copies of standard SAP code  and 100% of our core mods (of which we only have a handful)
    3. Code Inspector and more importantly the ability to turn it on to automatically run when releasing a transport.
    4. The ABAP workbench has changed a bit with a new editor including some minimal code completion.
    5.  Automatic generation of services from any remote enabled function module.
    These are just a few of the things that I've found helpful in an upgraded environment.

  • What's the difference between an audio INPUT and AUX object?

    Can someone explain the difference between an audio INPUT and AUX object? They both seems to do pretty much the same thing ... when would you use 1 over the other?

    revDave:
    Suppose you're recording a guitar track and you want to add a very gentle compressor to avoid overload during the rec process. you need an audio input channel with a compressor inserted. this way, your guitar will be recorded with the compressor processed. If you use audio and midi gear and want to bounce your material, put all your midi audio in an audio input channel.This way, you don't have to use a real audio channel to record them. You can hear them, even use some plugins, and have them bounced with your audio channels.
    Now, suppose you recorded three vocal channels, and want to use an equalizer. You need an aux object to send your vocal channels and use only one eq. This is very useful when you have similar materials recorded in diferent channels (2 guitars, vocals, pete/sax/bone, and so on). Send their outs to an aux object, insert the fx you want, and set the aux object's out to the main out of your project, and it's done.
    I hope it helps you.

  • I need to know the difference between planned SKF and Actual SKF from business view and when I can use one of them ?

    I need just to know the difference between plan SKF and Actual SKF in business example and when I use one of them.
    thanks

    Hi Salaam,
    Statistical Key Figure (SKF) is a base to allocate the cost between cost centers. Usually, common cost centers cost should allocate to respective department cost centers on monthly basis.
    Some of SKFs are: Calculating floor rent on SFT, Telephone charges on No. of units, and employees head count is with "Each" in SAP.
    Apart from Ajay's reply, you can consider the Canteen exp in an organization. Assume Admin, Fin and Mfg departments are getting food services from Canteen. Here, total monthly cost of Canteen exp should be allocated to respective departments. Here, we use SKF as total head count of each department and distribute the cost.
    Planned SKF is what you planned on the beginning of a period. (Assume head count was planned as 30 in the month beginning)
    Actual SKF is what exactly you consumed over the period. (Actual employees provided canteen services during the month is 25)

  • I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD.

    I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD. Also, I can not afford an expensive camera and need some advice on which of the available cameras would be best and also work well with a Mac. One last issue, I currently use a Panasonic #CCD camera that takes a tape. When I load video to Final Cut the audio and video are out of sinc. Go figure. Can anyone help with these questions. Karen

    Hello Karen,
    If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders.  Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs.  Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
    Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
    Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
    Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

    It is the decode statement that is doing this.
    The format of decode is:
    decode(expression, search1, result1, search2, result2, searchn, resultn, default)
    All result fields must be of the same datatype and will be of the datatype of the first result (result1 in this example)
    In your example (the decode for the field Days) the first result is a NULL. I suspect (gurus? anyone?) that Oracle will use the varchar2 overload of the decode statement, and the date field will be converted to varchar2 using your NLS_DATE_FORMAT settings.
    In the second decode statment (Day1) the first result is of datatype date, so the result of the decode statement will be a date field (and will be parsed as such by your sql development tool)
    I agree, as NULL is the first result returned the datatype is undetermined, so Oracle is picking VARCHAR2 over others, and causing an implicit datatype conversion on the resultant date value, whereas the other which is returned as a date will use the local settings of the client tool being used.
    I can replicate the 'issue' in Toad, and it's rectified if we cast the first returned value of the decode statement...
    SELECT DECODE ('I', 'I', DECODE (1, NULL, CAST(NULL AS DATE), 0, NULL, SYSDATE + 1)) Days,
           DECODE ('I', 'I', SYSDATE + 1) Day1

  • Hi I want to know the difference between the type of internal tables.

    I know the types of internal table but i dont know the difference between them can any one explain me in simple sentence.

    Hi,
    <b>Standard Internal Tables</b>
    Standard tables have a linear index. You can access them using either the index or the key. If you use the key, the response time is in linear relationship to the number of table entries. The key of a standard table is always non-unique, and you may not include any specification for the uniqueness in the table definition.
    This table type is particularly appropriate if you want to address individual table entries using the index. This is the quickest way to access table entries. To fill a standard table, append lines using the (APPEND) statement. You should read, modify and delete lines by referring to the index (INDEX option with the relevant ABAP command). The response time for accessing a standard table is in linear relation to the number of table entries. If you need to use key access, standard tables are appropriate if you can fill and process the table in separate steps. For example, you can fill a standard table by appending records and then sort it. If you then use key access with the binary search option (BINARY), the response time is in logarithmic relation to
    the number of table entries.
    <b>Sorted Internal Tables</b>
    Sorted tables are always saved correctly sorted by key. They also have a linear key, and, like standard tables, you can access them using either the table index or the key. When you use the key, the response time is in logarithmic relationship to the number of table entries, since the system uses a binary search. The key of a sorted table can be either unique, or non-unique, and you must specify either UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE in the table definition. Standard tables and sorted tables both belong to the generic group index tables.
    This table type is particularly suitable if you want the table to be sorted while you are still adding entries to it. You fill the table using the (INSERT) statement, according to the sort sequence defined in the table key. Table entries that do not fit are recognised before they are inserted. The response time for access using the key is in logarithmic relation to the number of
    table entries, since the system automatically uses a binary search. Sorted tables are appropriate for partially sequential processing in a LOOP, as long as the WHERE condition contains the beginning of the table key.
    <b>Hashed Internal Tables</b>
    Hashes tables have no internal linear index. You can only access hashed tables by specifying the key. The response time is constant, regardless of the number of table entries, since the search uses a hash algorithm. The key of a hashed table must be unique, and you must specify UNIQUE in the table definition.
    This table type is particularly suitable if you want mainly to use key access for table entries. You cannot access hashed tables using the index. When you use key access, the response time remains constant, regardless of the number of table entries. As with database tables, the key of a hashed table is always unique. Hashed tables are therefore a useful way of constructing and
    using internal tables that are similar to database tables.
