Abstract:
A distributed control system (DCS) is a modern control system used
to automate electromechanical processes, is frequently used when DCS
implementing automated control, which is an important part of many
modern industries.
This research is based on monitoring Level, Pressure and flow of
crude oil in the crude oil storage tank by using ABB Program. Automatic
control of crude oil in vessel can work continuously and can provide
accurate quantity of crude in less time. In such process there is no need of
labor so there is no human error. Without human error, the quality of
product is better and the cost of production would definitely decrease.
The purpose of the research is to replace the manual system being
used in the industry, compare the time, and manpower requirement for both
the existing system with the proposed automated system. Using of DCS
turns to a higher performance, great efficiency, minimize hardware and
maintenance costs. So the automatic control system is better than manual
control system
