Abstract: Distributed Control Systems (DCS) play a critical role in the modern control of large-scale, complex systems across a variety of industries, such as manufacturing, power generation, robotics, and smart grids. This review paper provides a comprehensive comparison of different DCS architectures, including decentralized, hierarchical, and multi-agent systems. Key performance parameters, such as control strategy, communication protocols, fault tolerance, real-time performance, scalability, security, and robustness, are discussed and analyzed in the context of their application to various industrial domains
