Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method and system of online and dynamic distribution and configuration of applications in a Distributed Control System (DCS) of a plant. One or more applications of at least one controller of the DCS is divided into a plurality of blocks. The application is changed by managing each of the blocks. The one or more blocks is dynamically distributed to at least one other controller of the DCS. The data distributed to the at least one other controller is synchronized between the other controllers. The application associated with the distributed data is managed based on an operation schedule of the DCS.
