The invention relates to a remote distributed control system and a distributed control method based on the Internet. The system comprises a remote operation station, a field control station and the Internet, wherein the remote operation station comprises a control strategy configuration software module, a database configuration software module, a man-machine interface configuration software module and a client end communication software module, the field control station comprises a local server, a server end communication software module, a control station and field equipment, and a client end and the server end communication software module are connected through the Internet. The method comprises the steps that: 1, control configuration is accomplished in the configuration software of the remote operation station; 2, data communication is established between the remote operation station and the field control station; 3, corresponding control logic configuration is carried out by the field control station, the field equipment is driven to operate, and real-time data is acquired and updated; and 4, real-time monitoring and debugging on control configuration are accomplished through the configuration software of the remote operation station. The control system and the control method have advantages of good control effects, high real-time performance and wide application scope.
