  ABSTRACT: An Internet based Distributed Control System (DCS) is presented in this paper for monitoring real time data using ordinary web browser. Each DCS will be connected to the central server which will be the system web server. The proposed system is based on the three-tier client-server model. The application server is written in C#.Net. SQL database server 2005 is used for all the DCSs local database servers and for the system database server. Monitoring real time system alarm and all historical records are considered as part of the proposed system. The North Oil Refineries of Baiji (NORB) in northern Iraq is considered as a case study for the developed system. These refineries have twelve independent DCSs which are connected in a mesh network to form one system similar to an ordinary Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
