16
Q

What is the most common access method used in industrial control networks?

A

Token Passing Access Method

17
Q

Which Access Method gives nodes equal rights to transmit, without waiting for permission?

A

CSMA/CD Access Method

18
Q

Network communication protocols are sets of formal rules on how to transmit and share data across a network. OSI is one of these protocols and stands for:

A

Open Systems Interconnect

19
Q

What layers are require for the OSI model to operate?

A

Physical, Data Link, and Application

20
Q

A message is a common term used to describe information transmitted via a network.

A

True

21
Q

If a message is too large for one data packet, the message is broken up into several data packets and each is given a sequence number.

A

True

22
Q

Proprietary networks, as opposed to open system network protocols, allow devices from many different manufactures to be used.

A

False

23
Q

Some of the most common device and process bus protocols used today are:

A

DeviceNet, Foundational Fieldbus, and Profibus-DP

24
Q

Information networks work at the middle level of the control system.

A

False. They work at the highest level.

25
Q

Control networks use which network access protocol?

A

Token Passing (peer-to-peer)

26
Q

Foundation Fieldbus, established in 1994, is a single international open bus standard for hazardous environments that enables devices of different manufacturers to be integrated into one system.

A

True

27
Q

Which bus has a faster communication speed?

A

HSE

28
Q

Profibus was developed by ______, Modbus by ______, and ContolNet by ______.

A

Siemens, Modicon, Allen-Bradley

29
Q

Modbus has a slower data transfer rate than DH+.

A

False

30
Q

The main difference between Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communications Equipment (DCE) is that DTE produces and consumes data on network, while DCE receives and forwards data across the network.

A

True

31
Q

Who invented the Ethernet Network Connection?

A

Xerox Corporation

32
Q

Devices connected to an Ethernet network from different manufactures are not guaranteed to communicate with each other, even though they are on the same network called “Ethernet”.

A

True

33
Q

A Network Interface Card (NIC) is a built-in Ethernet network interference port identified by three parts: it’s transmission rate, transmission method, and cable type.

A

True
