IC 1402 COMPUTER NETWORK AND DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM

AIM
To illustrate the concept of networking of computers and distributed control system.

OBJECTIVES
i. To provide fundamental knowledge about computer networks.
ii. To provide comprehensive knowledge about the methods of internetworking.
iii. To give basic knowledge in the architecture and local control unit of distributed control system.
iv. To give adequate information in the interfaces used in DCS.
v. To give basic knowledge about HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) and field bus technology.
