Q68 / 100
What does "deterministic latency" mean for a communication protocol used in industrial control systems?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) The time taken for a message to be delivered is predictable and bounded, which is critical for control loops that require consistent timing
A
Correct Answer
The time taken for a message to be delivered is predictable and bounded, which is critical for control loops that require consistent timing
Explanation
Industrial control loops often require guarantees that sensor data and commands arrive within a known time window; protocols designed for determinism (e.g., certain industrial Ethernet variants) avoid unpredictable delays from collisions or retries.
