The Development Prospect of FCS——What Current Factors Hinder the Industrial Promotion and Application of FCS ?

Prospect: The fieldbus control system FCS adopts the network technology, microprocessor technology and software technology of modern computer technology, which realizes the digital connection between field instruments and the digitization of field instruments and brings huge benefits to industrial production. It also reduces the initial installation cost of field instruments, saves cable and construction costs, enhances the flexibility of field control, and improves the accuracy of signal transmission. The workload of system operation and maintenance is reduced. The development of fieldbus technology promotes the transformation of factory bottom automation system and information integration technology. A new generation of automatic monitoring system based on fieldbus has emerged. It can be predicted that, although FCS and DCS coexist, eventually FCS will gradually replace DCS and PLC. 

Factors:

1. Bus systems vary. And the simplest bus seems to be a telephone line that has been used for about 100 years.

2. The use of carrier control system. For complex buses, such as the bus CAN technology used in automotive systems. Each node needs a set of CPU. Everything is about achieving the cost of successful control. For the cost, there are different levels of bus systems.
