Industrial Automation
Hubert Kirrmann 2013 Control system hierarchy 1.5 - 2
Principle
The structure of the control system should reflects that of the plant
Ideally, each unit of the plant should have its own controller,
interacting with the controllers of the other, related units,
mirroring their physical interaction.

all controllers can communicate as peers (without going through a central master),
restricted only by throughput and modularity considerations.
Note: Honeywell's "DCS™" stands for "Distributed Control System", it is not a decentralized control system, but
a control system for the process industry.
