The article presents The unconventional use of PLC controllers in a distributed control system DCS were presented in this article. The functionality, requirements and the costs of installation and operation of commercial DCS systems and those built on the basis of PLC logic controllers were analyzed. The features, the architecture and the structure of DCS systems based on PLC controllers have been described in details. The particular attention was paid to the allocation of the individual system components to the appropriate layers contained in their structure.
